produce co-op

I have a friend who has been getting her produce through a co-op some people formed in another town. They buy directly from a truck deliverer who was kind enough to let them buy only part of his load. The more the merrier, so she spread word that if there were some interested she would pick up ours there along with hers. We place our orders based on a week old list and pick it up a week after that. Sometimes things don't come in, or come in more than anticipated, but the prices are so much better than what you can buy at the store and it's exciting to be able to buy more expensive items that I normally would not buy. The kids get a real thrill from it too- as you can see.


Be praying for our health. Ivan has had steady temperatures all night and day. He's tired of taking medicine and I'm tired of giving it to him (just children's Ibuprofen so far as we've not been to a doctor). His temperatures are in the 100 and several times has gone up to 102.6. He really hated his cool bath and it barely brought down the temp. Then I gave him the option of eating ice cream or taking his shirt off. He chose ice cream- but only ate one bite I forced on him. I got fevers a lot as a kid and remember how bad it was. I hallucinated too. It was awful.

Poor kiddo!

For Abbey, who gets awful high fevers, and about the only thing she would eat to bring it down was snow.

This caused a problem in the summer. So we would grind ice in the sno cone maker...just a single blade type deal, or by grinding it in the blender.

She never questioned it...she was just thrilled we were able to find snow in the hot!

But you could tell him your family in canada heard he was feeling ill and sent him some snow! :)

You guys feel better!
