Fruit Crisp on the Fourth


When we cleaned out mom's house, we also emptied her fridge and freezer. Nancy was sentimental about the frozen fruit mom had picked and canned in freezer bags so she saved it. Today we had a picnic at mom's house. I brought the Brats, Nancy brought a fruit crisp. Well, I brought Bratwursts for mom and I, and tofurkey dogs for Nancy, Porter and Chloe.



We were speculating that Mom knew the answers to the crossword puzzle clues, but she was just holding out on us to make us challenge ourselves. We also noted that it would be an excellent time to roll-out the Scrabble game. Mom excelled at Scrabble.



Porter sets the grill alight. Tofu dogs need to be properly cooked, afterall.



Mom got half of a Bratwurst- they were huge. Naturally, I ate her other half as well as my two halves.

Nancy made Deviled Eggs. Chicken owners find lots of ways to incorporate eggs into most meals.
Mom and I took an afterdinner stroll around the compound. Roses are in fading glory now that it's July, but their scent is sweet not only to us but to the bees who love them as much as we love eachother.


Bless us, Lord. Our world is full of the wonders of your Glory. We seek your Grace in everything we sense.
