All she wanted was a cone, and he ordered her a double scoop waffle cone, which was as big as her entire head. It made that little girl's day! Her favorite part was having him drive through a roundabout 3 times/row while I decided if I wanted to stop to get the berries.

Has to be a good purchase with three wins! Oh blackberry jam would be a nice change. They must be hard to grow here as if we get them in stores, they are expensive, and if found, people seem to only get a handful.

My daughter says there are local gardeners that bring in fresh produce to their food shelf. There is so much good in the word and we need to amplify it so it spreads.

I saw jars for $12-so yeah, probably should have bought them all, but then I'd have more clutter and trying to do without that as well. Nice to look after the younger child so no one is left out. That's the kindness I love reading about.

I keep a full glass of water on my nightstand - whenever I get up (I am also a restless sleeper), I gulp some water, and in the morning, I drink whatever's left in it. <br /><br />I hope your week goes well as we all ease back into "normal"!

I hope your headaches improve!<br /><br />A few positives on my side: I found someone to water our plants next week, and it's a neighbor we share all of our produce with. We're paying her young son, as it's just across the street. We won't have him water our back plants, as we have a pool, but at least the front ones will survive. He's excited about the responsibility & money, we're excited to have the help. I know both of my teens would love a job like this, so I'm paying it forward.Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-26351515318177421092021-06-22T23:19:41.076-05:002021-06-22T23:19:41.076-05:00Yu paid more than double for lids, but I understan...Yu paid more than double for lids, but I understand why.

I suffered from regular migraines from the age of about 7, (at a time when the popular opinion was that kids didn't get headaches) until about age 26, when I had my first child. At that point, they became less frequent. I would lose the better part of two days in bed with them. I hope you can get on top of these.<br />I *LOVE* receiving homemade jams and jellies as gifts. I used to give them all the time, but now I give beeswax candles. As for the lids, I had to buy a case of half pint jars to get the lids--it was cheaper than ordering the lids. I plan on buying two half flats of strawberries at the local stand today, and making jam. I figured that's something I can do today while I'm home with the little girl from next door. Her older brothers and my youngest made plans to go somewhere this afternoon. If I didn't agree to have her over here, one of the brothers would be left out. <br />Hot here--low 80's, 32 percent humidity. I actually had to have my a.c. on last night! I might keep it on all day.<br />Feel better!Meg B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09871105973774159424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-29677792014171132162021-06-22T10:15:07.120-05:002021-06-22T10:15:07.120-05:00Beautiful blogBeautiful blogRajani Rehanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439571117569471650noreply@blogger.com
