Real Food!!!

Happy Tuesday....

It has been a good day here...okay, so I still have three criers in two classes, but the crying period is growing shorter each time :D And, I've already found there are a few that are definitely going to make me smile, if not laugh out loud every day! I forget after working with 5 year olds all Summer, how little 3 year olds are ready for....life's just a lot simplier at three!

Pat's truck is still spending time in The Dalles...they finally got it in today, but have yet to discover the problem?!?! Mmmmm...don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing...but, it means my husband has been home. Which also means...cooking! Somehow, it's an art that tends to get lost if you don't use it...ha, ha!

Tonight, however, we had REAL food...not the kind that you buy at the grocery store, that comes frozen, in a box, or can...but, REAL food...the homegrown with love, hard work & prayers kind. Of course, our menu had to include some Pat-n-Tam's Sirloin Tip steaks, baby reds from a local grower...and green beans from a friend....topped off by peach cobbler (made from the hugest peaches I've ever seen!!!) It was GREAT to eat real food...now, that we've joined the farmer's market club...we've both become so aware of the bounty God provides. We no longer take for granted the fruits and vegetables at Safeway...because we have learned the best is straight from the garden :D It's funny that until you experience homegrown first hand, you really don't understand what all the fuss is about! But, tonight our tummies were filled with the best...and our hearts warmed that someone took time, hard-work, and put lots of Love into the products we were consuming! Hey, I think that peach cobbler is calling my name right now in fact :D

I hope each of you had a great meal tonight too....Sweet blessings!

Sounds mouth-watering & delicious!!

I too love home-grown goodies! We've been spoiled by the garden that was very well established when we moved to our current house... and the best part is, Doug still does all the work... we just get to enjoy the harvest! :)

Have a beautiful day enjoying God's blessings!!
