Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> families you may not see or get to to talk with for a while,
 NB> then  RH>> when you see them, the kids have all grown at least 6
 NB> inches.
 NB>  NB>> When it comes to the teenagers, that can happen from week to
 NB> week!  NB>> It still can come as a surprise how quickly the time
 NB> passes....

 RH> I know, kids that weren't even in school when we came to the church
 RH> are now in high school. Then too, our oldest grandson has his learner's
 RH> permit--we were there when he was born.

 NB> Yup... that's scary... (G)

He's too young to be that old! (G)


 NB>  NB>> Our intern has been worshiping with us for a little while before
 NB>  NB>> we could hire him as an intern... when they first came, there
 NB> were  NB>> just two kids, and soon after they had their third.... this
 NB> year,  NB>> they had their fourth, and already he's starting to look
 NB> like a
 NB>  NB>> little person... 

 RH> They grow up all too fast. The baby that one of the church families
 RH> had in December is now 6 months old.

 NB> Yup, time passes... and the older we are, the faster it seems.... 

Very much so. Big sister will be three in August, big brother turned 7
in March--we've been here since before any of them were born.

 NB>  NB>>> after all...   And when it is wonderful, then we know we
 NB>  NB>>> should spend the pesos... 
 NB>  RH>> All in the interest of good food. We brought a bag of pulled
 NB>  RH>> pork to Steve's folks for tonight's supper. Mom made potato
 NB> salad  RH>> and I did my maternal grandmother's green beans (with
 NB> bacon and
 NB>  RH>> vinegar). A bit of sliced cucumber and tomatoes, apple pie for
 NB>  RH>> dessert and good eating all around.
 NB>  NB>> Sounds quite tasty.... 

 RH> It was; we took the last of the pie back to the camper for breakfast.
 RH> (G)

 NB> That works...  

A bit of warm milk, piece of cheese on the side and my usual cuppa tea
(coffee for Steve) and we were eating well. We made a sweet cherry pie
today, a small gingered rhubarb (jam) one with the bit of leftover
crust.

 NB>  NB>>>> Now you know...  
 NB>  RH>>> We didn't have the time to do the others in the egg and still
 NB>  RH>>> eat at a reasonable hour. Next time we have the same situation
 NB>  RH>>> tho, Steve will cook them on something else.
 NB>  NB>>> Ah...  You might almost have done better just doing them
 NB> inside,  NB>>> for a quick cooking... 
 NB>  RH>> True, but we wanted to grill it--kept the house cooler as it was
 NB>  RH>> one of those too early in the season hot days. So, we just ate a
 NB>  RH>> bit of charcoal. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Ah, well....  

 RH> Just a part of life. (G)

 NB> Juggling priorities...  

Yes, and this week has quite the week for that with VBS in the evening.
Yesterday I had a morning therapy session, quilting in the afternoon,
and then VBS in the evening.
