Who says that straight men can't be domesticated?? The first year of marriage to Tommy I saw one of the most odd things I had ever seen. On a trip to Las Vegas to visit Tommy's family in April, I saw Tommy's dad making strawberry jam. Yeah, a man making jam! Well, to make a long story short, making strawberry jam is a tradition every April in Tommy's family. So, of course we just had to join in and make our own. That's what we did, and yes I said We --Tommy made as much as I did, and he's actually pretty good at it.
Last year was our first run at it and it turned out pretty good. However, we didn't make a whole lot because we were to scared that it might not turn out. This year we went crazy! We made a ton of strawberry jam and we make it good! Our freezer is full and we're already looking forward to next year. So, if you want to taste some of the best homemade jam this side of the Mississippi River, give us a call!!

HOLLY!!! It's so good to hear from you! I am glad that you were able to find our blog. Now we can keep in touch. You and your hubbie are so sweet together. I'm happy to see that you're doing well. I wish we lived closer so that we could get together like we used to. Those were great times we had in the elem. ed classes! Anyway, thanks for your message and I'll talk to you soon!
Sign me up! This is the kind of jam I pay for...none of that grocery store garbage. It's homemade or nothing for us!
Sounds great! Bring some our direction, I love homemade jam, and I'll have to have "Tommy" teach me how it's done.

I can't wait to try it. mmmmmmmmmm seriously! Yay for blogs. Yay for you and yay for TUMMY! LOL YOu guys are great. We really just love you guys. We need to get together and do a double date.
I need a lesson! My grandma has tried to teach me on several occasions, but I guess I'm not patient enough for the work--the outcome is great, though!
Could you send us some? I will trade for some raspberry jam. See ya this weekend.
