We had some more visitors recently. The Wonderful Doolin Siblings --Michael and Julia--came and helped out for a week this July. I purposely said helped out rather than visited, because we Millers feel pretty guilty for all the incredible help they gave us. We hope they enjoyed themselves, because we really enjoyed the time we had with them!
Making green tomato salsa. Julia really seemed to like this. She put it on everything!

PICKING BLACKBERRIES

THE REWARDS OF OUR LABOR!

I think Julia took this picture to make me feel good. She actually made the blackberry jam. I just stood there holding it!
The kids ate the 8 pints of homemade jam up in about a week and a half.
(I might have helped a little)
Mealtime
Robert begins making much-needed shelves for the shed. He was greatly assisted by Daniel and Michael.
Benny helped his Daddy, too!
The finished product...ready to be filled with Rubbermaid containers!
Rachel and Julia making jalapeno poppers.
Devotions time --They weren't supposed to notice the camera!
R.G. and his good friend Michael -- dressed in Miller style, as usual!
Sweet Julia reading a book to the little ones. Sam figured he could see better if he sat ON the table.
Snapping green beans.
Well, as you can see by the pictures, we had a great time with Michael and Julia. We would be honored if they ever decided to come back and visit.

Awww! What fun! Looks like y'all had a great time! Julia said she loved being up there.
Those blackberries look delicious! Mmmmm!
Love,
Sarah
What a nice visit! I know they were as happy to see you as you were to see them! There is nothing more heart warming than seeing folks who mean a lot to you (I know -- waiting impatiently til the end of July!)
The new shelves look great. I love shelves, lots and lots of shelves. And I love the blackberry bushes! Are they on your property? It had been so dry here, we didn't get a lot of berries this year.
Glad you had a good visit with two sweet young people!

Mother/Grandmother
who can't help wonder what
"snattax" means. That's the
word verification word for
this comment!
Oh, I just noticed that window air conditioner in the kitchen cabin! Hooray! Glad you are all keeping cooler. Think I know my hangout later this month!
Love,

(this comment's verification word
is "thinear". Hmmm . . . do I know anyone with a thin ear? Obama? I know some people with a tin ear, or a fat ear, but thin ear?? Oh, maybe it was "thine ar", a partial King James quote!)
What a great visit! Julia and Michael both have such willing servant hearts. I am glad you all got to spend that time with each other.
Boy - How much jam would the Miller crew need to be "enough"? Kind of like fried potatoes. The more you make, the more they eat :)
Sarah just made a bunch of jam with all the fruit we had frozen months ago for that purpose! It's great to have.
Love,
Beth
--who's word verification is thelymen. Hmmm....I can think of a lot of definitions for THAT one!
Is the new fad in blog comments going to be posters trying to make humor out of word verifications. HMMMMMM! My word verification is petaxame. Im not going fall into blog coolness. Im plenty funny without any help. LOL

I'm sitting here crying. Not sure if it's the country music or the beautiful landscape while Katie and Julia were snapping beans and me wishing I was there.
We long for the day when we can say we just ordered enough chicks to blow most peoples minds. That's my kinda fun!
And the jam....that is Ryan's favorite kind of jam!!
Love,
Renee
