Lemons on my Mind


The tree looks so innocent, but, we had a bumper crop of lemons this year.  Last year we had none due to a bad freeze, but OMG the tree made up for it.  I have given tons to my sister, who moved here last fall and used a lot myself.  I have also begged people to come over for lemons.  I have had three takers.

I have made lemon curd more times than I care to admit.  It is the best.

I think I have two years worth juiced, frozen and stored in Ball and/or Kerr jars.  They are the great.  They don't break or leak.  I am a huge fan.

I am nearly lemoned out.

Yes, Another Post

Miss Brunette is a senior and is in California for the yearbook trip to Disneyland.  She comes back to night. Blonde Girl goes to California to Disneyland for the band, chorus, theater trip next Thursday.  I think Miss B has been to Disneyland 5 times and  Blonde Girl maybe four.  I don't know.  They lead a busy life.

All of this activity has not allowed us to gone on our Spring Break vacation.  But, here is what we have done.  
*  We have been to NAU twice.

*  Blonde Girl has attended one birthday party and one quinceanera.

*  Miss B has been on her yearbook trip

*  Blonde Girl has meet with the youth pastor and presented her faith paper.  She basically told her she liked     the religion where you can believe in anything and everything.  The Luterans are still taking her.  OMG.

*  Miss Brunette has worked on the final submission of the yearbook.  It is now done.

*  Love Man did work and junk at home

* We have had Chinese food and In 'n Out Burger

*  Girls have spent the night with our girls.

*  I juiced about a thousand lemons and am  begging people to come over for some.  Another post on this         tomorrow.

*  Miss Brunette has done a senior memory board and will be presented at church with the other seniors.           One of the girls is a yearbook editor and close friend.

*  Miss Brunette has seen "Cinderella" twice.  Love Man and I saw "McFarland USA" and it was awesome.

*  Love Man, Blonde G and her friend will attend the P83 Concert.

The Rest of the Story

Okay, I have no excuse for my absence.  We did find the Thunder Shirt about a month after it went missing and Abby happily wears it when it storms.  It was velcro attached to a girl's clothing.  I knew it!  I kept saying "look in your drawers!"

We have been crazy busy with the girls.

The oldest, aka Miss Brunette, is the photo editor for the yearbook and has gone to almost every event at THS.  She is also busy with NCL and preparing for NAU in the fall.  She wants to major in education.

The youngest, aka Blonde Girl, has taken high school by storm.  She is in marching band, which took 7th place in the Super State Band Competition in their division. She is also in soccer, chorus, concert band, photo club, drama club and was in the play, "The Little Mermaid,"  In addition, to all of that she is in NCL and completing her last year of confirmation.

Luckily all of BG's activities are not at once.

Love Man is good and continues to like his job.  He is an avid hiker and yesterday hiked 9 1/2 miles.

I am the same and trying to keep up with my job, NCL, the family and house.

We have added no new pets.  We still have the three dogs and the cat.
