What's Making us Happy? Berry picking, Rainer cherries, and Homemade Sweet Tea! (Week of 7/11)

Hello all. This week was a little more contentious in the Wong household. Breaking points come every once in a while. This week was one of them. I cancelled my trip to Colorado for my annual half marathon trek. Hope to get there one day. So, we are digging deep to the essentials for the summer of Covid. :)

• We've been berry picking a lot. Twice blueberry picking for our smoothies and desserts. Kristen and Olivia made homemade raspberry roll-ups. Was great! 
• Rainer Cherries - Only around for a short time, Rainer cherries are the local cherry favorite. They don't last long. Both times the batches were polished off in the day we picked them up. :)
• Homemade Sweet Tea - The summer go to drink that I make my own batches. Helps bring some comfort these days. 

So, that's what we've got this week. For your visual pleasure, here's a picture of the Rainer cheeries (before the kids), and Davis' baking (Don tat and cake decorating) 

A note from Olivia

Hi. I am Olivia  last week  i did a doll making class.

What is making us happy? 4th of July, eating out, and Wonder Woman Run!

Hello! We survived the 4th of July. With everyone at home, there were more home fireworks than normal. Either way, we had a great weekend. It also made up of what was making us happy...

• We started by eating out at McMenamins. First meal at a restaurant in a long time. It was nice to sit down at somewhere other than the kitchen table. Beer and tots hit the spot.

• On the morning of the 4th, Olivia and I did a 5k to Pirate's park for our July 4th run and for her Wonder Woman 5k! She did great!

• Finally, we finished the day by roasting marshmallows and lighting fireworks. A great 4th!
