Day 220





1. God totally made my day when, as we were looking for a parking spot in LO so we could picnic by the lake, we passed a Salt & Straw ice cream truck. Oh yum. Mom and Jacob had never had their ice cream before, so I treated them. :)
2. After a day full of errands, came home and made two blue berry pies. One of which got consumed immediately as Scott and Juli came over to visit. This one is now waiting for tomorrow (breakfast?). Or possibly for Andrew and Daniel once they get home. (Pam Forster's recipe)
3. I also made two peach pies! This one, that I'm too impatient to wait until it's baked to take a picture of, is for John, the owner of our local fruit stand. He gave me two boxes of peaches in exchange for a homemade peach pie. I hope it lives up to his expectations! I, of course, made one for us to eat tomorrow. The recipe came from The Pie and Pastry Bible.

Now it's off to bed once the peach pie is done cooking.

Day 110











Cal, Rebekah and I visited the Hiram Chittendam Locks this afternoon and enjoyed wandering the gardens. Then I cooked some dinner while they napped (it's feels so luxurious to just cook for 3) and read. Then it was dinner time and more sitting on the couch relaxing and reading time.
