FREE AT LAST!!!!!

As some of you know, we have been working our tails off doing apricot leather. We've had an

orange carpet on our deck for some time now. The process is very tedious and long. Picking, pitting,

blending, pouring, drying, picking, pitting blending, pouring drying. Over and over again! We have finally

finished . . . . . . Just in time for our plums! One unenthusiastic yay. it was kind of cool to see all of it out there

but very annoying when we had to race out and bring it in every time it rained.

It's a lot less frustrating when we do it in mass production. we put 3 tables and 2 plywoods out there so we didn't have to use one thousand dinky, little trays. that meant less to carry in but it was harder.
I asked mom if we could make a dress out of the leather that came off of the plywood so I wouldn't have to worry about meals. if I was hungry, I could just pull of a piece.
It was long and annoying but we got a souvenir! The size of a pan with a cougar print!

Neola!!!!

Okay, familia, so here is the Neola post. Sorry, I'll add narration at a later date. But for now here are the pictures: 4-wheelin'-

Okay, and this is just from Mom's camera and I chose the one's that weren't blurry or anything. Also if anyone wants to add pictures from their cameras, remove some they don't want on, or replace ones with better ones, feel free. :)

July 24th

Sorry it's a little late, but here are our pictures from the 24th of July. Sorry there are so many pictures. Well, it was a wonderful time up at Moss Ledge. The day was gorgeous, and the food was great (thanks to everyone who worked so hard!). We took A LOT of pictures, but here are some of the best. Also: nobody is allowed to complain; some were put on by request, others are just gorgeous. The model shots we took up there might take another post, and I don't have all the pictures. Well, love you family!
