love this


we have had a bountiful supply of strawberries from our little patch this summer. i had made a strawberry shortcake for some friends and myself and we have eaten lots of them with whip cream, princess's favorite. lots have gone in the freezer for smoothies. but i recently read another mommy blog and she posted about her strawberries. there was a recipe for a strawberry pie that looked simple and frankly sounded yummy.
so in the midst of all my packing today (did i mention we are bound for yellowstone this week?) i decided to use the remaining berries for this pie. the kids were excited and when hubby came home from work and saw it chilling he seemed a little excited too. i had never made a strawberry pie so i wasn't sure what it would turn out like.
after dinner hubby mowed, we dealt with the back-up sewage in the basement, and sat down for some pie. mapboy loved it!! chloe who loves all things strawberry picked the berries and whip cream out and left the rest. but hubby - he took one bite and said, "this is good. it reminds me of azars/bigboy!" hmm...not sure if that was good or not i asked. he said most definitely. that in fact his family, who owned their own restaurant, would often go there just for the strawberry pie. i was feeling pretty good. then, he picked up the phone to call his mom to tell her he was eating a strawberry pie just like azars.
boy.....he scored some points tonight!!
and thinks friend, for posting the recipe. it is now a favorite at the back door!!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
