  • I'm making strawberry pie right now.  We will make freezer jam sometime in the next couple of days.  And, maybe a strawberry rhubarb upside down cake. All in all, a good day at the strawberry farm.  There are so many strawberries you could pick a box full in 10-15 minutes.

  • Our homeschool group went on a field trip to the local fire station.  It was a blast.  I was thinking that this would've been an awesome one in the summer time.  What do you think?           Honey and Pumpkin declined to participate.  We had attended a tour at this fire station…

  • Gramma visited us for a few days a couple of weeks ago.  I kept forgetting to take pictures, but finally rememberd to bring the camera on our outing to the Mayborn Museum.  Here are some pictures from that trip.  The museum is part natural history and part children’s. All in all a good day was…

  • You all know about our "field trip" to Niagara Falls, Canada.  I was fully prepared for the extra security measures.  I only carried medicine and baby food in my carry on.  In Austin, we did not have any trouble at all.  They let us through without a hitch.  I was taken aback when I realized…

  • This was the view from our hotel room.  When we arrived last Wednesday, we were bedraggled, tired, and hungry.  However, the view was magnificent.  This particular picture was taken on Friday.  It was raining when we arrived.  I was trying to get the children to look at the Falls and to notice the mist that…

  • We are taking a break from school to take a field trip.  We leave tomorrow morning (too early to be sane–who booked this trip?) for Niagara Falls.  I’ll tell you all about it when we return.  In the meantime, please say a prayer for us for a safe trip.
