white strawberries

When I lived in Ventura I belonged to a e-mail group for LDS moms. It had to much drama so I quit but there was a lady on there who grew up in CA and moved to Utah. We were all discussing strawberries. She made the joke that people in Utah think strawberries are white inside.
Last night I bought a 4 lb container of strawberries. I cut them up this morning and they were yes white inside. When Eden was blessed we bought some strawberries from Fernando's Flowers. Yea you Ventura people know what I am talking about. They were so juicy and red they would leak down your face and onto your shirt.
I think being anywhere but ca you may think strawberries come in 2 varieties. white on the inside or smooshy deep red. Aghhh so I am going to dream of strawberry fields, farmers markets and the ocean all day today. That is what I think of now when I have a strawberry.

good week

So I made it! I worked all week for Georgina. It was fun. The gymnastics/dance studio was a really cool place. It is a born again Christian run facility. I think I am going to sign the kids up this fall. I liked that the kids were all modest and the music and language was clean. The teachers were all really nice. Eden joined me Saturday. Because, DJ and Lucas went on the Father Sons camp out. Georgina brought some little ballet outfits. She is still wearing one of them.
I enjoyed working this week. I was familiar with what I was doing and it was not stressful. However, one week was good enough for me. Georgine knows what I can do now and I can help when ever she needs me. I missed my kids and husband. But like my Mom said that had enough Mommy love and time stored up that one week didn't phase them. The spent a lot of time with my parents. DJ had them a few times. He was glad when I was home so he could get his work done. We were really busy.
Anyway it was a good week and I am happy to be home again. We had a nice Saturday too. We went to Agua Caliente Park with Corey and Sue and Jason, Sara was there for her friend Padmini's graduation party. So we saw some old friends from the institute days. We fed ducks, fish and turtles
. We saw a soft shell turtle, it was very cool. A great horned owl flew over also. Corey, DJ, and Lucas saw some baby ducks. Corey got to use is new fancy lens. All in all we had a great week and I am looking forward to this weekend. We are going to rattlesnake springs with my family. I am excited!
I also acomplieshed editing and backing up all my photos! 11 CD's later!
