 RH>>> families you may not see or get to to talk with for a while,
 RH>>> then when you see them, the kids have all grown at least 6
 RH>>> inches.
 NB>>> When it comes to the teenagers, that can happen from week to
 NB>>> week!  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
 RH>> church are now in high school. Then too, our oldest grandson
 RH>> has his learner's permit--we were there when he was born.
 NB>> Yup... that's scary... (G)

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

Or you're too young for him to be that old!  
 
 NB>>> Our intern has been worshiping with us for a little while before
 NB>>> we could hire him as an intern... when they first came, there
 NB>>> were just two kids, and soon after they had their third.... this
 NB>>> year, they had their fourth, and already he's starting to look
 NB>>> like a little person... 
 RH>> They grow up all too fast. The baby that one of the church
 RH>> families had in December is now 6 months old.
 NB>> Yup, time passes... and the older we are, the faster it
 NB>> seems.... 

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

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

 RH> A bit of warm milk, piece of cheese on the side and my usual cuppa tea
 RH> (coffee for Steve) and we were eating well.

Indeed...  

 RH> We made a sweet cherry pie today, a small gingered rhubarb (jam)
 RH> one with the bit of leftover crust.
 
Now that sounds quite tasty...  

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

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

That IS busy....
