Strawberry Fields Forever.... in the freezer

We ordered Strawberries from a local singing group.  They arrived VERY ripe.  

They say when you get lemons make Lemonade.

So.... we got ripe fruit, so Mary, Sarah and I made Freezer Jam.  I have made regular Jam, but this was my first attempt to make Freezer Jam.  It is so easy and delicious.  I want to live somewhere where fresh fruit is more accessible so I can do this on a regular basis.  This was the best idea we had and it felt like such an accomplishment.

Who do you think??????

Last night I watched the country music awards.  I am a HUGE George Strait fan.  He is a REAL Country Music singer.  No rock, just real country music.  He IS THE MAN!!! I think he has earned the title of Entertainer of the Year.  If you have been to one of his concerts you KNOW all he has to do is just stand there and sing and that is entertainment enough.  So last night I voted with all the computers in the house for George.  The people that have only been singing for a year or so, don't need to win.  They still have plenty of time.  

I like Carrie Underwood, don't get me wrong.  She is really good and can do awesome things with her voice.  She has really proved herself coming up from American Idol.  I voted for her everytime on American Idol.  But I think she needs to be a little more seasoned before she wins EOTY.  (And what's up with the guys that won song of the year?  "In Color" by Jamey Johnson.  That was so lame!!!  Even George had a look on his face like WHAT!?)  

So,  my point is this.  There is no one like, THE MAN, George Strait.  HE should have won and in my mind is the Entertainer of the Year!!!
