I got a flat of strawberries for $5 at Winco. (Anyone that lives in the Provo/ Orem area should check that place out.. there are pretty good deals there). It is a really simple recipe...<br /><a href="http://static.ifood.tv/files/strawberry_jam%5B1%5D%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 157px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 183px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://static.ifood.tv/files/strawberry_jam%5B1%5D%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a><br /><div align="center">2 cups crushed strawberries</div><div align="center">4 cups sugar</div><div align="center">1 (1.75 ounce package) pectin</div><div align="center">3/4 cup water </div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></span> </div><ul><li><div align="left">mix strawberries and sugar together. let stand for ten minutes.</div></li><li><div align="left">bring water and pectin to a boil</div></li><li><div align="left">mix pectin in with strawberries and let sit for 3 minutes</div></li><li><div align="left">put in containers. freeze for 24 hrs. then.. bamb! it's ready to go! </div></li></ul><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><div align="left">Brett jumped right in to help me. It was <strong>such</strong> a great evening. It's amazing how much fun you can have by doing something so simple. It wasn't even that it was actually the <em>making of the strawberry jam</em> that was so fun. It was just the fact that we were doing it together. We ended up making quite a bit of jam! After we had finished cleaning up, we starting talking.. it's interesting the things that bring joy to our lives and the things that really don't. Making jam. It's to good to have moments like that to serve as little reminders. </div><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"></div>Brett+Chelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14255924908147079702noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560389546251840950.post-54286713923476170882010-06-09T11:25:00.000-07:002010-06-09T16:18:42.403-07:00Unfortunately, fortunately....<span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Fortunately, both Brett and I had Tuesday off work so we decided Monday that we would have an <strong>adventure</strong>.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Unfortunately, we couldn't go anywhere too far, because it was only for one night. </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Fortunately, we decided to go camping!</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Unfortunately, we found out that was too expensive to justify the price for just the two of us. </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Fortunately, my <em>sweet sweet husband</em> is so great and he set up camp for me in our backyard.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Unfortunately, the sprinklers decided to go off at about two a.m. right by my head. It was <span style="font-size:100%;">soo</span> loud. and we don't have any control over our sprinklers.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Fortunately, they only lasted about fifteen minutes.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Unfortunately, as soon as they stopped... the rain started. and it poured. </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Fortunately, the rain stopped after awhile.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Unfortunately, as soon as the rain ended... the wind picked up. </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Fortunately, we both agreed that we should go inside and go to bed.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Unfortunately, once we were in bed, we realized that we needed to put some sort of weight on the tent so that it didn't blow away... </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Fortunately, we found something quickly and ran outside to cover the tent. </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Unfortunately, we didn't end up going to sleep til about 4 a.m. </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">Fortunately, we got to sleep in!! and we enjoyed our Tuesday afternoon.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;">What a fun camping experience!! I'm thankful for my great husband, who takes care of me. I'm thankful that <em>sometimes things turn out differently than we've planned</em>. <span style="font-size:130%;">I <strong>know</strong> heavenly father watches over us.</span> I know he has a greater plan for us than we have for ourselves. :) </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#990000;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#990000;">Count your blessings.</span>Brett+Chelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14255924908147079702noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560389546251840950.post-52048639259381066072010-05-17T17:17:00.000-07:002010-05-17T18:16:00.829-07:00<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Well, I did it!
