fruit trees

wow, it's been like 5 months since I've posted! we have 10 fruit trees (plus 4 more pear trees coming)on the hill now: 4 pear, 2 cherry (Montmorency & North Star), 3 plum, and one peach. we got 3 of them (a pear and 2 cherry trees) at wal*mart, and they are much bigger then the rest! there are little green cherries on the Montmorency tree, meaning we'll get cherries this year(I think I counted a dozen or so! lol)!!

Hm.. I tried to label the pics but it didn't work. here's the album on facebook!!

it's time to leave for NH! cya

it really is surprising, how fast time goes by

Well, we just got back from a concert in Athol, MA! Wow, it's been 1 month and 3 days, since I've posted here! I guess I should post something! lol! well it's warmed up a lot, and it's 55°F here, now! Man, I want some snow! there haven't really been any good snowfalls lately. Here's an interesting page, to calculate your age in decimal form. oh, and for those that like mazes, my brother put up a video on youtube, that's pretty good.

Due to the recent ice storm, the power has been wacky, lately, and has been going on and off. It was almost all of Friday, and part of Saturday, and I'm glad we have generators, so we can plug in some essentials ( router, laptops, and fridges! :roll:)! You would not believe how hard it is to wash dishes without running hot water, and use a pot of woodstove-warmed water, for rinsing. akkk. When Carol & Bonnie went to Germany, I along with 2 siblings were assigned to washing dished when they were gone, and so after they came home, Mom decided to have me keep washing them! ='-(
I had to was the lunch dishes/pots/pans/pot lids/forks/spoons/knives etc., and there was an exceptional amount, that took a long time to wash today. :sigh:
--------------------------------------------------------
I can't believe how fast this this month/year has gone by! It seems like it just turned '08 just a little bit ago. ah... well... h'm... :not sure what else to say here:... well I'll ttyl!!! =-D

I think you'll get a laugh or two!!! :D

Here is a riddle for you. A man and his son were in a car accident. Two ambulences came to pick them up and took them to two seperate hospitals.

The doctor came into the operating room and said, "I can't work on this boy, he is my son." How is that possible? -(The doctor is his mom)

I am lost. I have gone to look for myself. If I get back before I return, please tell me to wait.

I am not here so leave a message. Well actually I could be here and I could just be ignoring you and you would never know.

I could be sitting here laughing at you because I am avoiding you and you don't know it. Ok, I'll make a deal with you. If you can guess correctly

whether or not I'm here I will talk to you. Then again, if I'm not here and you guess right then I'm really just not here to talk to you. Also, if I'm ignoring you

and you guess right then what do you really think are the chances that I'll tell you that you were right? So, I guess what I'm saying is leave a message and I'll

get back to you when I get back...unless I'm avoiding you.

I haven't gone away but I'll be right back.

Isn't it scary to know what doctors do for a living is called "practice"?

Minds are like parachutes--they only function when open.

I used to have an open mind, but my brain kept falling out!

In MO!!!

Hey all y'all faithfull and unfaithfull readers!
I guess I should update, 'cause it's been over 2 months before the last post. We're in MO right now.
We went to the Covington's house for a day or 2, a day or 2 ago ;) ! I wonder how many people will actually read this? Gtg to bed now (or pretty soon). Cya!

Home

We're home!!! We got home from NH yesterday, and we had a good time seeing our Dad's Sister's family. We sang at Alton Bay Conference Center on Saturday, and the building seated 600 people! 

I reformatted my laptop yesterday, and the wireless function wouldn't work :'( . But a Friend (Lincoln Thompson) helped me resolve the issue, and now it works :) .  

Carol & Bonnie Gone!

On Sunday, Carol and Bonnie went to PA to visit friends. It's been quieter around the house (pro), but there's been no one to make cookies (con) :-( .Our relatives that lived in China for a while (and just got back) are bringing them home tonight! 

P.S. I wonder how many people will read this?

Test

This is a test. :-)
