Oh what do YOU do in the summertime?

I like to pick blackberries! The season is short so watching for them is essential! I like to make pies for the freezer and the leftover berries make really good crisp! If you bring the ice cream - I'll share! :)

Yum! I just finished the last bite of my blackberry pie when I saw this. Good thing, or I would have been drooling over your crisp picture and showed up on your doorstep.

My next foray into the world of blackberries will be a cobbler, I think.

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!
