My children didn't know you could buy it at the store, and wouldn't have eaten if I had. But I can no longer have strawberries and haven't made it in a long time. It was something Paul and I coordinated together getting cooked and into jars and wiped down. I miss that fun, but times and seasons, you know.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172703240976388442.post-57997190551808470222022-05-31T16:06:56.009-05:002022-05-31T16:06:56.009-05:00Oh I had to laugh at your evil plan to get the kid...Oh I had to laugh at your evil plan to get the kids over.:) We do have one child that lives nearby. Thankfully a daughter as you know the old adage that a son is a son until he takes a wife, A daughter is a daughter for the rest of her life.:) One of my high school teachers disappeared and was gone for months before her SISTER reported her missing. It was a sad end unfortunately but I told my husband that I could be missing for ages before my boys figured it out.lol I loved visiting with you today. So many pretty things to see and lovely memories you shared.

My oldest sister passed 5 years ago. I'm now the age she was when cancer took her. I cried so much for the first 3 years but now I think of her with good memories and pray for the family she left behind. She loved the Lord and I know she's in heaven. Thank you for the lovely stitch. Your sister was generous and I know it runs in your family because you are the most generous lady. :) Patty McDonaldCraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498544981583643267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172703240976388442.post-43072871585034914312022-05-29T16:56:00.436-05:002022-05-29T16:56:00.436-05:00I really enjoyed reading the tale of your AC!

I suppose an air conditioner in tip-top condition will be needed soon to blast away all the heat. The piece you made in memory of your beautiful sister, Amy, is lovely; a beautiful photo of her.
