The American Experience

Today we bottled peaches.  Ladson and Paulo were hard workers.  I really like canning with my kids, it is such a nice time to just talk and laugh together.  It was interesting, while we were working Paulo told me that it seemed so calm.  I agree, I think the focus on working together did have a calmness to it.

I am often aware when we are doing things with Ladson that he isn't really having the "American Experience".  To do that we would need to play video games and watch tv, not bottle peaches and play board games...
