 Hi everyone.

Hoping you have a beautiful start

to your day.

My post yesterday about stopping at

the Amish store and checking out the varied amount

of jellies, jams and preserves brought some

comments that I thought I would

address today.

Miss Merry over at the house with

the picket fence, commented that the 

bacon jam is good on a burger.

Oh my gosh, that sounds like it 

would be amazing. I will have to pick

up a jar of that next time I am 

out there and try it out. She also stated 

that Traffic Jam was her favorite.

I checked that one out and it also sounds

great, a mix of different berries. Even 

though it sounded good, I was in the mood

to try something different. One of the 

others was also a mix of berries, 

just different ones then what is 

in a Traffic Jam.

That lead me to check out the berries

that are in Traffic Jam and 

Frog Jam.

Traffic Jam has peaches, 

strawberries, red raspberries, cherries and 

cranberries in it. 

The Frog Jam, makes me wonder why 

it is named that, but it has fig, raspberries,

orange and ginger. 

They both sound great but I love

things with orange in them.

Darla stated that she does not have a connection 

to folks she went to school with.

But she did one reunion and it was not 

good. Yep, I have done a couple of reunions

now, but I waited years before I attended one.

I think I did the 25th and everyone 

was okay. But I then waited and did not

attend till the 40th, I think. However, between

the 25th and the next one, there were

many get togethers for dinners, lunches

and listening to a group of friends 

playing at the local marina. 

I am pleased and proud of the connection

the class of 78 has

 but more so the connection 

the school has, and FYI, the actual building is

still around, it is now a middle school and DuPont

does not have a senior high school anymore.

Proud to be a bulldog.

Darla also talked about a hard fruit candy

she used to like but it probably would not taste

good now. Yep, the thing is, taste changes over

time. For me, I personally don't like strawberries

but I do like that flavor in candy, 

pop tarts and other things.

Liz left me a message about the difference

in the different types of coffees. 

Thanks for that, now I think I might

want to try out Caribbean type. 

Bitter however, not a fan of, so 

I will not venture off trying that stuff at all.

On Saturday I went out to try and get the 

yard cut between rain storms.

That did a great job in calling in 

a storm just as I finished the front yard.

Worked better than a rain dance would.

And on Sunday I started out to do my 

daily walk about, and got sidetracked with

some plants I had sitting over by the dry 

creek bed. Gound was way too wet to finish

up cutting to the yard but I thought since the 

yard was wet, I could dig some easy holes for 

planting the plants around the creek bed. 

WOW....although it was cloudy, there was 

not a dark cloud in the sky, but all of a sudden

the rain started coming down, easy at first.

Then the rain got harder and harder.

I watched my dry creek that still just has

the lining in it, flow so nicely with the pouring 

rain, I was so proud of that job. Once the 

yard dries up I will pull the car around

back and take out the bags of rocks to fill

the creek.

As I stood there in the pouring rain with

no dry spot of clothes on, I decided that

digging in the rain was not bad. 

So, I took my shovel over to another area

of the yard, where the under the ground

gutter system comes out, I am going to 

take it down to the dry creek so it will

all drain out altogether. I bought the 

plastic gutter stuff to attach to what is

already in the ground last yr but never got

to the digging part. 

I got this done but have a little

more to go.

I bought an extra long plastic

drain off thingy but I might even

need more to get it to where it needs to go

to merge in with the dry creek.

Saturday night I went to dinner at

Ambers house.

She made smash burgers and 

real homemade fries.

YUM.

She also made brownies but 

I had stopped and got stuff for

Rice Krispy Treats so we had two

sweets. Then we sat in the living room

with the tv and talk.

Look at this boy with his dog.

Braden loves that silly dog

and she loves him so much.

B has this large diamond cut 

necklace and he puts it on Emmy.

She walks all around with it on,

only cause I think B is the one

that put it on her.

Silly dog.

Have a great week,

Pam
