 This is the picture you get when a very old volunteer takes your picture while talking to you the whole time.... Yep, that's the Spruce Goose behind us.

With both of us off work we have been away from the computer enjoying our family time.  I can't say I've missed it...please forgive my sporadic posts...I have kids to play with and peppers to can!!

one last picture of the gang (Natalie is off screen crying...)

This week we had to say good bye to our dear friend Maren and her two wonderful little boys Elias and Soren.  They are moving back home to Wisconsin (we did try to get them to stay).  Our little group that started so long ago as a group of lonely stay at home mamas in Springfield and our first babies that in many cases weren't even crawling will never be the same without them.  We have been through second pregnancies (most of us) together, house hunting, moves, sibling rivalry, knitting, felting, cooking....Often this is the only group of people that really understands and always has the time to listen.  Maren, super mom who had bread baking before the rest of us got up, had already ridden her bike to Eugene with the kids in the trailer to weed her garden by 10, then canned a  batch of ... something, made cheese followed by spinning some wool into yarn before ending the day knitting a sweater with her hand spun wool!! 

We'll stay connected through glory of the Internet until their visit next year "when it stops raining".  I guess I better get my butt in gear and start being better about my blog! Happy Travels my friend, we'll miss you!

How to steal Brother's Juice when no one is looking (or so you think).

this girl is TROUBLE... always into something

and flowers were planted... because they make me happy and I got them on sale.  It was making me sad to look out the window and see the weed block coming up and the ugly red bark mulch!
