Strawberry Picking

-
There is a neat little Farmer's Market
called Froberg's in Alvin, Texas
The entire time I lived in Houston,
I had never visited this wonderful place.
When I was in Houston for my niece, Jenny's
wedding, my mom, sister and sister-in-law
spent one morning picking strawberries
at Froberg's.
The fruit was everywhere, and we were picking away.

Aunt Gail
Definitely the pro--she takes her grandsons a
lot during strawberry season.

Yummy!

I must admit that after about 20 minutes of
picking fruit for fun, I had a whole
new appreciation for people
who do this kind of work for a living.

We love to pick strawberries Karen! But here we have three different places to pick within 10 minutes of our house. :-) By the time we get home there are four little faces and all of their matching fingers dyed red. They eat till they are sick and we jam and freeze the rest. Love it!

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .
