Energy

Dr. Christopher Venamin (I know I spelled that wrong) has been at St. Johns doing the Institute, and I got a chance to sit and get to know him a little when he stopped into the bakery for lunch yesterday. Anyway, I was pulling the girls in the wagon down the street today, and he and Mike Habib drove by, and stopped to chat. Christopher hadn't seen the girls, so he was saying hi to me, and then said very sincerely, "I pray that God gives you joy and energy." I was so touched, and smiled especially at the energy part. Goodness knows my girls take a lot of energy!

Speaking of my girls, we went raspberry picking again today, cleaning out Betsy's raspberries, and doing round two of Jane's. They are downstairs soaking in a pot of cold water (my intention is to drown all the bugs). I'm going to rinse them really well, and then can some jam! I think it's fantastic that they were only be a two hour lag time from the bushes into the jelly jar. Will make some yummy yummy stuff....mmmm, raspberry jam. My favorite!
