Alllll Alooooooooone!

Well, this morning we sent Deric off to go on Trek to film it (at 6:00am!). I got up and made breakfast for him and then we woke River up for him to say goodbye. He is doing well so far...

We tried to go strawberry picking at Deric's Aunt's house (they have an overabundance and have canned all the jam they want already) but their berries haven't produced a whole batch since their recent picking. So, we have laid claim to the next round in about 2 weeks. I will freeze some (I froze one bag today) and can jam...mmm!

We found out that Mark (father-in-law) has the Swine Flu...and we were all just over there for Father's Day on Sunday. We were in the basement and Deric's Grandma's really, but Joan insisted on taking River up to say hi. I told her not to let him touch her though. So, I think we are safe...it isn't an airborne thing. But, that means that Grandma can't babysit River on Saturday while I go yardsaling in the morning. Oh well, I suppose I may just attempt to take River...we will see.

We went and played with the neighbor kids a bit and I am having my neighbor and her two young girls over for dinner...lasagna. We decided that since our husbands are on Trek we would do a potluck for dinner tonight. So, she is bringing fruit and veggies, and I am providing lasagna. I'm hoping it won't be a problem with allergies...(her 5 year old is lactose intolerant).

Later....It went pretty well, we just had her daughter eat some leftover stirfry. Good food, good company. We played a little in the backyard, but we are all kinda tired from the long day, so they headed home. I feel like we did some fun stuff today. :-)
