Fruit

Mmmmmm strawberries!  When I was a child growing up in Illinois I used to help our neighbor, Leo, pick his strawberry patches with my mom and my sister.  The patches were more like fields.  HUGE.  Those strawberries were the yummiest strawberries ever.  They were ripe with sunshine and just burst their sweetness right into your mouth the moment they hit your lips.  My mom used to get on us to make sure that we were picking more than we were eating but Leo always smiled and told us we could have as many as we wanted.  He was a really neat man.  He farmed, played the saxophone, always had something sweet to say to us and he let us run around and play all kinds of imagination games in his barns and old corn bins that children do.  I miss him.

What's your favorite fruit? 

Cupcakes! - Omaha Professional Photographer

Hey, if you knew how little I baked, you would be excited too! ;)  Here are a few photos from the last time it was my turn to host bookclub.  I chose House Rules by Jodi Picoult.  It is a really great read.  I highly recommend it.  Anyway, I was feeling a bit adventerous and decided to bake homemade cupcakes.  It was a success!  I didn't burn down the house AND they were tasty!  Don't worry, I actually had Jimmy John's and some fresh fruit from Hy-Vee to feed the guests as back-up.
