This is a month full of birthdays and anniversaries in this household and in our family. For instance, today is sister Emma’s 37th birthday. Yesterday was my mother’s 74th. It seems I always think about her birthday every year even though she has gone on before us.
It looks like I have a full day’s work ahead. Laundry needs to be done. Then I need to take care of my cucumbers. I will probably make them into freezer pickles. It is one of the easiest ways of doing pickles. I usually put several plastic ice cream buckets full of homemade freezer pickles into the freezer. When we have church services we get those out of the freezer and they taste just like fresh pickles.
