Hertzler Doings-July 1-7, 2013

Mon.-Out to Farmville. First voice lesson. Exciting. Raining. 2 1/4 inches.

Tues.-Happy Birthday dear Freeman. 29 years old. Susan and I called him at lunch and sang to him. Heard Phil saying, "Oh no..." He remembered it last night but forgot it today. Decided to do all of my list before cracking open the computer and I had so much more time! Later went out to Rustburg with Teresa and Elisabeth to get blueberries from Yoder's Farm. They went to NJ to pick them up. We were the first ones there and they asked us what the prices were because their bookkeeper wasn't around. One of them asked me if I was related to Joe Hertzler. Yes, second cousins, I believe. Susan went to Bible Study at L's.  Michael made supper-bear meat, sausage, bean, salsa, and rice mixture with tortillas. I froze nearly 40 pounds of beautiful blueberries. I have a bit of a headache and my lips feel numb. Must have been sprayed. Will thaw them in a little water and apple cider vinegar to get rid of any residual sprays.

Wed.-made marinated carrots and caramel popcorn for the July 4th parties we will be going to.

Thurs.-Spent a few hours with Dianna and Henry. Went to the Timma's and then to the Macs for evening parties. Susan and Michael went to the Warren's. Philip stayed home and then he and Michael had some friends over in the eve. It really was a vacation day.

Fri.-Micah spend the morning with me. We were down at the river for 1 1/2 hours and they were delightful minutes. Later, I made Freeman's chocolate cake and chili with corn bread baked on top. Philip did some farm work and then went to Southern States. Harvest met him there and came back here with him. They spent the afternoon in kayaks on the river and are spending the eve. out at ball. Susan went with them and they met Savannah there. Went to Cook Out afterwards. Late night.

Sat.-Dr. F. No vertigo! Cleaned the house. Michael, Sarah, Kayla, Travis, Corinne, Erik and April spent the eve here at the pond. Fishing, etc. Susan and Philip went to the Benson party.

Sun.-Good word at church. It's nice to have the family all together again. Boys went to Erik's to celebrate his birthday. Susan, Phil, and I watched Jane Eyre. Freeman and Alli came over and started smoking the ribs. Had a late supper of ribs, potato salad, veggies, and amazing chocolate cake. It's almost 8:30 and Sarah, Michael, Susan, and Philip, are playing Apples to Apples-Jr. It's fun to watch them threaten each other and argue with each other. Lucy is playing happily with her toys. She smells like skunk.
