Popping Sorghum

Popped sorghum is a favorite snack in our home.  After purchasing a small bag of popped sorghum at Whole Foods we purchased 35 pounds of  grain sorghum. We enjoy sharing with friends and family.  Our sorghum came from Pleasant Hill Grain.  This video from Justpoppin.com is a good tutorial on how to pop sorghum.

A quote

“Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don’t have the strength.  Industry and determination can do anything that genius and advantage can do and many things that they cannot.”  
Theodore Roosevelt 
(1858-1919)

A visit from Miss Anna

My Sarah safe meal
Crab soup
Two Peas in a Pod
Anna and I both waited for what seemed a long time for a husband and then both met our husband on Christian mingle.  We were married within six weeks of each other and are expecting babies due around the same time.  Even our rings are similar!
