It was a long wait.

I am in the process of "putting up" my 1st batch of cordial, ever. I started this one in November, right after I took the class. I think these were the last raspberries to be had.

It is the right amount of everything. YUUMM

LOL.... Dave trying to knit . Cape cod June 2005

oooops

Hello out there in vast Internet land.

The holidays were really good. I did not get hooked into the decorate and buy, buy, buy like I use to. It was just another Friday, in another week in another passing year. It just happened to come with presents and a really good supper at my moms. And my daughter for an entire week.

So... not so much about cordials today... I did start a cranberry, a pomegranate and 2 gallons of orange and I am ready to start summer fruits. I love making this stuff.... now how to make $$$ from it.

Today I am a little bummed. Dave is on a self distraction/ trying to save himself journey. He wants to kill himself and at the same time find a magic solution to his anger and pent up adolescent abuse. I wanted to work with him on it this morning, but all he wanted to do was leave his living situation ( he is living at his parents house. it is far from a home) for the day and escape.

Don't we all want to escape that which is painful? The pain is so great for him, he will never be happy or satisfied until he lets himself feel it and be with it.

I am trying to get somewhere in my own life. This is where God comes in.
