We had a divine appointment with strawberries today...



































































Today after a quick "school" we decided to go strawberry picking... the weather was glorious and so we went to Orrs Farm market ( a new place for us but one we will be going back to lots). We got a free wagon ride all over the farm, met a sweet friend who was our tractor driver ( who loved the kids) picked over 50 lbs of strawberries ... and ate at least that many....
When I got ready to pay our bill the cashier said someone really loved seeing the kids and they wanted to pay for our strawberries... they handed me 60 dollars cash... It was past lunch so we decided to stop at Mc Donalds on the way home ( something we never do because it cost too much) but thanks to the Lord we had 60 dollars cash - Guess what our bill was for McDonalds ? $ 61.88...
To express how we all felt about our strawberry day Mya said it best," This was the best day ever!"
How many times we are out as a whole group and we have been blessed by a stranger's heart...thank you to the man who loved us today and thank you Lord for another blessing!

Oh, how NICE!
I just love hearing things like that :)

What a wonderful guy to do that!

Looks like FUN too, we did that in Fl many years ago with our kids and we were eating away like CRAZY just going on and on about how delicious they were....when we started slowing down and actually LOOKING at them we noticed they were CRAWLING with little bugs!!!

Ewwww...

I just haven't looked at a strawberry the same ever since ;)
