A while back Doti and I were discussing making Strawberry Jelly/Jam/Preserves (whatever you want to call it) and I made the comment that my grandma makes the best. We decided that we needed to learn from the best. Then one Sunday I was at Earl’s house and she made the comment that she was running…
Saweeeeet! Yup, no reason for saying that, just really felt like it :). So last Tuesday night, the 12th, was another Try it Tuesday for Scuba Diving. I have to say, I felt a lot more comfortable and took full advantage over the last time! We made arrangements where Tbug got to go with us…
He never ceases to amaze me. He had me believing that I wouldn’t get flowers this year, just like he had me believing he couldn’t propose yet (3 years ago). And I had made my peace with it even though I might have been a bit sad… Then he came through! This boy knocks my…
