I hope everyone is having a nice Mother's Day!

This is one of my fave classic movies . 
1948's "I Remember Mama" with Irene Dunn
(You may need to pause my music at the right)

Enjoy!
See you next time.

Strawberry Pickin'!

A couple weeks ago we took the grand daughter 
to pick strawberries for the first time 
at "Wild Things Farm" in Pocola, OK
She loves strawberries, so she was pretty happy to get to pick some. It's a great way to let kids know that not all food comes from a grocery store shelf.
 Strawberries as far as the eye could see!
They have over 90 acres of fruits and veggies.
2 of the gallon size buckets were all we needed.
 It was pretty warm out, but at least there was a nice breeze. 
 They have fun things for the kids...
a day camp, petting zoo, a lake for fishing, and lots more.

 I loved their pink peonies!
 The peacocks were camera shy.
There were lots of goats, and even a newborn donkey.
The blueberries will be ready next week. We are going back then!
Meanwhile, I have been eating strawberry shortcake like crazy!
Here's an easy recipe.. I use the Hostess shortcake ready made.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!
