George Washington's Tricorn Hat, and Meatloaf

-
        This week the 1st and 2nd graders were learning about George Washington, and the curriculum suggested making tricorn hats as an additional activity. I dutifully complied, and now we have tricorn hats.



It would appear as if wearing the hat for school makes you wiser.

Last week, Martina took step-by-step photos of me making meatloaf.

I was surprised to see this photo! The egg is in mid-air, between the shell and the bowl!

In between the many calls at work today, I thought of my blog. I used to spew my opinions freely and frequently, but life got busy and I kinda forgot about this little platform. No big opinions or profound thoughts today - just an update on life through some photos. Strawberry season occupied nearly all my mental capacity for the month of June. We were blessed with a good year, but boy oh boy am I glad that strawberry season is not any longer than it is. Treated our strawberry pickers to ice cream one day.   Martina helped me keep the shortcakes stocked - they definitely were a hit!! Ended June with summer Bible School. Our theme was aviation Planting strawberries for next year - we had some wonderful helpers and it went very well!! Low country boil with the Allgyers Several evenings spent with my family on the river A bridal shower Elissa's goat had a cute little kid Austin's sister Kayla got married and we were honored to be part of the bridal party A very fun day at Knoebels...

A Week in the Life of Asher

  Hi! My name is Asher!  My mom enjoys journaling to help her process life events. She even used to share her big ideas on this page! Well, since she’s not using it at the moment, I’m going to take the opportunity to tell you a little bit about my life and all its grand adventures so far. Mommy and Daddy say I was in a big hurry to meet them early that Sunday morning, but the real truth is that I had completed all the exploring there was to be had in my previous home. The world out there sounded pretty grand and I was excited to see what it was all about. I guess it wasn’t real nice to daddy because he had worked really hard during the day before I was born and was pretty exhausted. He doesn’t hold any hard feelings though. Just a few hours after I was born, I got to meet my grandparents and a whole bunch of aunts and uncles. What a rambunctious crew! They commented on the length of my fingers, how much hair I have, and whether I look like Daddy or Mommy. I did find the commen...

Well hello and welcome back to my little space of the internet! The short hiatus dragged out much longer than I anticipated:) Anyway..... Martina (who probably checks my blog for updates the most) says I should hop back on here and stay for awhile. So, I'm here. I don't know how long or consistantly I will visit, but. . . . She also said I should blog about our wedding. I like that idea:) *** Friday afternoon we set up the reception, held at Maranatha. We had lots of help from our families and it went quickly and efficently.  Janette did a really good job on my flowers! Time for rehersal! Early the next morning, Austin came to pick me up from my parents house for the last time before we were married. We had our first look in the back yard of my parents AirBnB. Of course we had to take a picture where it all started:) My Family Sisters!😊 Austin's Family Left to right: Austin's brother Anthony, Austin, Brian, and Michael Burkholder (Best Man)  Kayla (Maid of Honor; Aus...
