Strawberry season came early to Maine this year and it almost got by us without us noticing - thank goodness Gram told us the picking was good at Thunder Road Farms in Corinna - we actually didn't end up going there, because they were down for a couple of days - but it got us in gear. We took Susannah, Laura, James, and Ethan with us to Tate's in Corinth. We picked 40 quarts total. We came home and made strawberry shortcakes (of course!) and enjoyed berries and cream and froze a bunch. Gram has made a couple batches of freezer jam too.
We had a nice breakfast and flag-raising on July 3rd. We all brought muffins, coffe cakes, fresh fruit etc. had it outside - sang the national anthem - Bob gave a short inspiring talk. It felt good to be an American (and to be in America!) - I love this country!!

Looks like you guys have had so much fun! I do miss having a ward celebration on the 4th-they never do that here!
