Blackberries! I see them just about ready here in the northwest, native to these parts. I love to just eat'em-eat-em-eat-em all day long. Or, go pick'em with my little and littler nieces and little bigger nephew :D

The local county fair week. I have eight children (not all at any one time) I babysit all making things to enter. Four to six craft projects each. Ceramics, general crafts. I enter things as well, and my hubby enters his photos. It's fun!

Funny you say that, nanabeanyana, that's cool to do that with your fam. From other stuff you've said on here about your fam, I hope singles understand MARRIAGE is great when it's from God . Sooo, worth the wait. :)

my nieces enter crafts and cookies (well, the 5 year old, anyway, the 2 year old enters stuff next year :D ) and nephew, 11. Fun to see how creative they are, I like that my sister spends so much time getting them ready, doing quality summertime activity. . They've done projects for fair every year and out in océan shores where they live they have weekends of entry stuff too spring, summer. It's this coming week, always fun to go on the rides like the octopus and ... throw up, anything to please the nephew. Dumb uncle! :D We go to petting zoo too, little Rosy-roo will really have fun and Riadora
(Maria's her name but she carries a Dora backpack everywhere she goes and looks like Dora too) , her older sis , really loves that place.

Well, then. yeah, the fair is fun in August. Good one nanaB :)

Just to be sure we are on the "same page" Greeny.....I babysit nine children, from four different families. Ages range from 1 year old to 11 years old. I never have more than six here at one time, but the eight that are old enough are entering things in the fair, and all the projects are done at my house. (My own two "kids" are older....23 and 25 years old.) These children are what I call "extended family"..I love 'em like family even though they are not "blood related"!!! Family is very, very, very important to me......and so are these families. I have babysat each of these children since their births.

Thank you for the kindness in your words about my marriage...it did indeed come from God. I feel God gave me Papbean and Papabean helped/helps me be ever closer to God as well. Waiting IS worth it all.

I love your stories of time spent with your nieces and nephews.....that's awesome! They will cherish those same memories as they grow up too. *Dumb Uncle*??? I think not! (my brother's two "kids" ---they are 16 and 18 now!!(where did the TIME goooo????)-- call me "the Boogieman" hahaha don't ask!!! hahaha)

Cherish.
Good word, Nanabeany.

What about the boogieman?
Oh, wait, sorry I asked :D

God bless your time being mom to so many others' kids. That's neat and special , I'm sure they love your help and attention to them.
That is such a Go(o)d heart inside you, nanabeans, I bet your two own 23 and 25 year-old kids-even if they don't say it-admire that great Jesus quality you're showing those many kids. H-huh, I was just thinking to myself right now, I've NEVER used Jesus name as an adjective before. But NOW it's the first time, and, I definitely know it's the right time. :)

Blackberries. I lurve them. I also grew up with a mulberry tree in my yard and would eat them till I was sick. Every year.

I am over summer this year. We are going 20 some straight days with triple digit weather. Ick. We are also in a drought in the part of the state I am in, so I am over it.

What I like at the end of the summer is laying out on the trampoline with a friend and looking at the stars. Listening the crickets woo each other and making up names for the stars. Watching fireflies dance and realizing life is far more simple than we make it.

I like getting snow cones from corner stands with pineapple flavor. I like getting ice cream sandwiches from the ice cream men that walk around and ring the bell on their stands. I like having water gun fights with friends in parking lots.

Please summer, cool off a bit so I can enjoy you again.

Yep, Tacoma, WA , born and raised minus four years inland Northwest for college. Growing up, girlnext, my friende and I used to go to woods by my house, where blackberry bushes were thick, bringing knives , cutting our way thru that fantastico world. :)

Allfunfor, yeah, I heard about the drought in those part, sorry to hear, and, fireflies remind me of a trip my roommate and I took after college cross-country, stopping in the Heartland for chicken and potato salad after having took turns driving some 35 hour straight to get there. :)

I like slaking my thirst with a fresh iced tea or lemonade or eating mint chocolate chip ice cream during a hot August night in the Northwest, where there is nothing like it- we are blessed with four distinct seasons, although admittedly, this summer's been unusually tepid.
