Raymond did a beautiful job updating a stair way for Steve's in laws. He darkened the wood and changed the wood balisters to cast iron ones. Steve wanted it done as a surprise for them while they were all at Disnyland which meant we had a deadline and of course were there til 2 am. But he finished it and it looks awesome. Kate got tucked in on the floor and slept great while I went outside to pick raspberries. At 1 am. In shorts and flip flops as the berries froze. It was 38 degrees. Did you know raspberry bushes have thorns? Yeah, me neither. It took me nearly an hour and almost a couple toes but I picked LOTS of raspberries and with some encouragement from my grandma and mom I made jam and it is DELICIOUS! My mom also got me TONS of strawberries for a great price and I was able to chop and freeze lots and I made homemade syrup. I have had a LOT of waffles since then because the syrup is just that good! I felt so proud of myself and Kate was great while I was doing it all.
