Today's accomplishment....

I did 8 half pints of blueberries today. Yes - they can be canned! We use them only for blueberry muffins. I have enough jars here to do 8 batches of muffins now! :)


Next we will work with this...
I have been saving strawberries we have grown most of the summer now. I kept them in the freezer. After seeing I had enough - I made.....
Strawberry freezer jam! Please pass the bread please!

I also cleaned out the big freezer. I have no idea what is for dinner because the containers sitting on the counter are frozen and unrecognizable. I am bad when it comes to labeling. I don't.

I also shredded about 4 1/2 cups of zucchini today. This will come in handy for zucchini bread and other yummy foods that shredded zucchini can be added to.

I just love this picture! The beach...it's the place to be!

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
