Making Orange-Lemon Marmalade


In the early months of the year here in California, we have a wonderful season of citrus trees that bear their fruit. I have several Valencia Orange and Meyer Lemon trees in the back yard and they were loaded with fruit. So I researched the internet and experimented with making some batches of marmalade.  My first batch was amazing! I think it was because I picked the oranges and lemons off the tree, came inside and imediately started making it. They were so sweet and fresh!

"No Grandma, this is how you do it."




"I love my life."



"Hey Jude, all you need is love."



"Hey don't worry about it, just make me a few tamales."



"Come on, let's go grandma!"



"My mother trained me."

Heather's birth pictures

Going through my boxes of family stuff today and I found these pictures of Heather when she was born and a picture of dad holding her on the day she was blessed. Back then, we didn't know what we were having until they were born. Michelle was so happy to hear she had a little sister. She was 8 years old when Heather was born.
