Strawberry Jam Time 2025
04/06/25 08:03 Filed in: Family | Berlin Community
We spent the day yesterday morning doing our annual strawberry jam from local strawberries. Bob has done a good job this year cultivating and improving our own crop of strawberries in the beds next to the house. This year the berries came from Grandpa's out by Highway 20 halfway to Albany. A different strawberry variety, much more dense berry. Possibly less sweet yet still good. We got 9 pint jars, 7-12 oz. jars, and 3-8 oz jars for 19 jars this year.

Gingerbread Houses
Olisha and the girls (plus Olisha's sisters) invited their former neighbors to the house to decorate gingerbread houses. The children seemed to enjoy and get into the spirit of Christmas. This is the third year for gingerbread houses. They all seem to be colorful, different and fun. See for yourself.
