Two weeks ago it was plums.  This week it is peaches.  My dad is blessing me with peaches this week.  I've put peaches in the freezer-no more freezer space, though.  I've made peach jam for my step-mom.  Of course, it didn't jell, so she has some "gourmet peach sauce" for ice cream and pancakes.  I've got some cooked up for jelly that I will make this evening.

I've never, ever had peach jelly or jam set up.  It always stays runny.  I had some people make a couple of suggestions, so we will see how that turns out.  One was to cook the peaches with the skins on them.  I did that.  I didn't add any water.  I also threw a handfull of strawberries in with the peaches for good measure.  Should be some tasty jelly, I hope, instead of ice cream sauce.  I'll let you know how it turns out.

I've also made some peach cobbler and my DH has been getting peach smoothies every morning this week.  Smoothies with three or four peaches in them.  Very peachy smoothies. 

I started attending a ladies' summer bible study yesterday.  It is a study on forgiveness.  This week's assignment is to read Romans 12 each day.  I've done that today.  We also have a memory verse, which is:

Ephesians 4:32: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Blessings to you,
