Hi Nancy,

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

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

 NB> Or you're too young for him to be that old!  

That's more like it.

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

 NB> How time does fly...  

Quite so. Another family had #2 (#1 was born before they moved here)
just a few days after Audrey was born. He turned 8 in April, just a few
weeks after becoming a big brother to #6.

 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>  RH>>> salad and I did my maternal grandmother's green beans (with
 NB>  RH>>> bacon and vinegar). A bit of sliced cucumber and tomatoes,
 NB>  RH>>> apple pie for dessert and good eating all around.
 NB>  NB>>> Sounds quite tasty.... 
 NB>  RH>> It was; we took the last of the pie back to the camper for
 NB>  RH>> breakfast. (G)
 NB>  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.

 NB> Indeed...  

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

 NB> Now that sounds quite tasty...  

They both were, and both gone now so I'll be making another pie
tomorrow. This time it will be with local (We know the grower.)
blueberries. Got some more cherries but I think Steve is going to try
drying them.

 NB>  NB>>>> Ah...  You might almost have done better just doing them
 NB>  NB>>>> inside, for a quick cooking... 
 NB>  RH>>> True, but we wanted to grill it--kept the house cooler as it
 NB> was  RH>>> one of those too early in the season hot days. So, we just
 NB> ate a  RH>>> bit of charcoal. (G)
 NB>  NB>>> Ah, well....  
 NB>  RH>> Just a part of life. (G)
 NB>  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.

 NB> That IS busy.... 

This week is much quieter. Had therapy yesterday, then a Costco run.
Worked on VT VBS today with my crafts helper, getting it set to go up
there next week
