The second location that we went to glean fruits and veggies for our charity, was a persons home that was tucked away in the rolling hill of Sonoma County. We gathered up our boxes and made our way to their backyard that had the most inspirational veggies and fruits. As you may have noticed I have been a bit grumpy about my garden and this year wasn’t exactly a success. I was definitely feeling down about the whole thing. It wasn’t until I saw the six foot tall heirloom tomato plants filled top to bottom with tomatoes, or the peach trees bursting with juicy fruits that I felt inspired again. Once again we were picking and chatting away, nomming on the occasional split tomatoes that were not fit to be collected. We were able to quickly fill our boxes, so I had plenty of time to look around and explore the the garden a bit. It was beautiful and simple. Nothing fancy. Not even a gnome in site. It was it’s simplicity that made it so peaceful. For a few happy moments I just sat there and enjoyed my surroundings.

A Sugary Frosting: Growing Up In A 1960’s New England Parsonage
by Denis Ledoux, Martha Blowen
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs | Politics & Social Sciences
FREE for a limited time
During the turbulent 1960s, what was life really like in the the US? More to the point, what was life like in a certain New England parsonage?
This memoir offers a glimpse into a world that is long past. The mores of everyday life have changed as has life in a parsonage. A Sugary Frosting / Growing Up In A 1960’s New England Parsonage reveals a bit of both. Especially poignant is its glimpse of an underside of being a preacher’s kid, a public role that is rife with challenges of supporting your minister father and your minister’s-wife mother and of becoming yourself, a person they may not have expected their household to have produced. Relationships in this memoir are portrayed honestly and sometimes not flatteringly. A Sugary Frosting, a phrase derived from Martha Blowen’s journals, is a memoir of surviving religious idealism and inherited belief to undertake to become one’s self.
