Father’s Day Sunday, Jun 15 2008 

I guess I was slacking because my dad called me today. They were on their way out so he wanted to be sure he caught me. We had a nice talk. And I told him I loved him and I was glad he was my dad. And he said he couldn’t be prouder of me or my husband or my kids or my family as a whole. We far exceeded expectations.

I thought I was supposed to say nice things about him on Father’s Day. On the other hand, there’s probably nothing better a Dad can get from his kid than their success.

Summer Blogging Wednesday, Jun 11 2008 

Let’s try this again, shall we?  I have been neglecting the blog because homeschooling and puppyraising is a lot to do.  We are done with formal school for the summer so I think I’m going to try for a bit of blogging again.

We finished classes last Tuesday and went on a day of field trips on Wednesday.  Thursday my Mother in law arrived for a long weekend visit.  Friday we went strawberry picking.  That resulted in 5 quart bags of strawberries in the freezer, three batches of strawberry jam and two strawberry pies (one Saturday and one today) and lots cut up to eat.

Also produced in the kitchen today were two loaves of Tonia’s Honey Whole Wheat Bread.

Honey Whole Wheat Bread

If you’re moving from white bread to wheat this is a good in-between bread.  And it’s a pretty easy loaf to make.

One last thing to come from the kitchen this evening-homeade pizza.  (That’s the dough rising behind the wheat bread).  It’s nice to have some energy to cook!
