It has been ten years since I last posted in the blog that I started. So many things have happened...retirement, a new job, Ashley got married to her high school sweetheart and gave us Madelyn Grace ( Grace for my grandmother). We are finally in our new home which took forever to build and life is good. Yesterday was the 4th of July and we were blessed to eat with my in laws. After lunch Eric and I walked in his grandmother's backyard and picked the sweetest blueberries to put up. Berries picked from bushes his grandfather planted over sixty years ago. They are so huge and encompass such a big area. One summer I picked seven gallons. This year I have managed to get three and half. I put some in the freezer, sent a bag home with the grandbaby and made blueberry jam. Ten years have past and I still love getting out in the heat, picking berries and making something with them.
