" <BR/>I know when we got married Ben would say things like, "My Mom makes the best . . ." whatever and now that he's used to my style and herbs, he thinks *most* of mine is the best (smart man ;). And when we haven't had something for a long time and go visiting somebody and they serve it, often we go away and say, "Hmm, it wasn't as good as I remembered." But it is very much the memories connected with it that we so enjoy. Even now when I will see something that sparks a memory and Ben will say, "Let's try it." and after tasting it I go, "It doesn't taste anything like I remember" which usually means I don't like it. <BR/>I'm tired just reading about your garden processing, and I think you will have enough for a few years.<BR/>Love<BR/>HeatherBenjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10410574729633897638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21282709.post-1153927618625926982006-07-26T08:26:00.000-07:002006-07-26T08:26:00.000-07:00Thanks, Grandpa B!

Then my heart melted for them. We only keep kittens in the house until they are old enough to fend for themselves (we have dogs that like to "Play" wtih them), and then they are officially outside. I don't like litter boxes!<BR/><BR/>Our 608 raspberry plants are producing red raspberries, and we love them, too! Mountain Fire Keeper thought we could some day have a "you pick" business, but with how much my family loves raspberries, I don't think there would be enough!Lynn Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17435825858991342289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21282709.post-1153925828747962892006-07-26T07:57:00.000-07:002006-07-26T07:57:00.000-07:00I hope y'all get that pump fixed.

That way they are tame and will be easier to give away. <BR/><BR/>Are the raspberries red or black ones? I LOVE red raspberries. I have a bunch of berries to pick, I just need to get out there.Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837798938089334872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21282709.post-1153918451226007372006-07-26T05:54:00.000-07:002006-07-26T05:54:00.000-07:00Just read the last 2 blogs Lynn.Great job describi...Just read the last 2 blogs Lynn.<BR/><BR/>Great job describing all the events.<BR/><BR/>I hope some day a book can be written<BR/><BR/>about life on a new progressing farm.<BR/><BR/>Gp BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
