100 posts and My Daily Life

Hey, I just realized I've reached my 100th blog post. Wow what a landmark for me - someone who is so insecure writing. Right now I'm sitting in front of my computer because my leg is throbbing. I just returned from Target where I purchased new bins - part of my clean out and get organized mood. I was leaving the store with my bins piled so high I couldn't see in front of me. Traveling at full speed ahead, I crashed my cart into a short pillar outside the store. My shins then collided with full force into my shopping cart. It hurt so much I actually screamed out loud. I felt like such an idiot hobbling to my car and when I got home I had to have Scott unload the car so that I could crash here on the couch with an ice pack.

My Daily Life

I always make strawberry freezer jam in April. The berries taste so sweet and they are so large that it seems to only take about 10-15 berries to make a batch. I drive the back roads to the high school to pick up Scott and often there are migrant workers standing at the intersections, selling the produce they have picked that morning. After reading The Circuit by Francisco Jimenez I can't help but want to buy something from them. Here are the berries we selected this week.

You can see how large they are in Emily's hand and mouth.


Here is my first batch, I'll do this 3or 4 more times and my freezer door will be filled with yummy jam.
