Long time since posting

It has been so long since I posted, I thought that I would fill you in on what is going on at the Parmenter's. Really not much! We spent a few days in Fredericktown with Sue and Dave, Beverly and Marvin. Before that I did a week working at History Camp. Two weeks ago was Bible School and I worked the Weaving and Basket Shop at the Jerusalem Market Place. A very different kind of Bible School.

We have been going to all of Caleb's ballgames. He is now swinging at the ball and connecting some. He executed the last out in the game Tuesday to win. Very exciting.

We've created a new little courtyard on the north side of the house. It needs some time before it will look great, but is a vast improvement on what was there.

We celebrated our 39th anniversary last Saturday! The girls reserved a small room at the club, and they took us out to dinner. It was a great evening.
Paul gave me a digital photo frame. Now I need to learn how to download music to the frame. It really is too cool.

Nate fell down the stairs last week and cut his head. It scared Caleb and Ella to death. Sara said that it took longer to calm them down than it did Nate. Poor little guy, he also got a huge splinter in his thumb. I think it stayed there a day or two because he wouldn't let anyone touch it.

Keaton had a big week at school last week. He tried to get on of the teachers to hold down his "you know what" while he pottied. She told him it was his, he could hold it down himself. He then asked her what she had in her pants, a big one or a little one? The teacher gave Caroline a call and told her that maybe they should have a talk with Keaton. He has also moved up to the Beetlebug class. That's a big step. A Rite of Passage so to speak.

I made plum jam and jelly from plums procurred at the country club. I now have plum chutney ready to jar up. I have decided that jam and jelly making is a great pasttime. I bought strawberries to make some more jam and now I want blackberries.
