Jess Berry Quote Of The Day!

For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.

At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

These Idaho Republicans Know How ToThrow A Party

This 6 year old recited the Gettysburg address...extremely impressive. 

New Berry Oil Tankwagon

Our new tankwagon for the Tetonia plant debuted in the WPMA trade show. It looks great!

Vegas, Golfing, Freezing In Shorts

Monday morning Matty, Mama Berry, and I met our Uncle Brent (he has the sweetest life, retired fireman that golfs 4-5 days a week) for golf while Dadio went to meetings. The way I golfed I should have went to meetings instead. A little bit of the Idaho curse was with me. I did have two amazing shots. A shot from the tee box that went into the lake, skipped three times, bounced off a rock, went into the next water hazard, and bounced back into the fairway. Caddyshack could not have pulled it off better. Second shot was a 45 ft putt that was pure luck...I mean, pure skill. 

This Is A Need...

not a want. A classic phrase. In the case of this situation, it is 100 percent true. After 15 mins in Brookstone I realized this leg massage machine is a need for my achy body. (HINT, HINT) Best way to start a trip to Vegas...after all the walking that trip I am lucky I survived without this necessity.   

PS: Who loves my latest color blocking choice. I'm stylish, I know. 

My Older, More Mature Big Bro

I will say that was one funny meal. You know when Mama Berry can't stop laughing that you're onto something hilarious. What is not pictured is Dadio sneaking cookies into Mama Berry's purse. As if an all you can eat buffet is not enough.

Aunt Jess = Coolest Aunt

The best part about being an aunt is you are extremely cool. At least in the eyes of my nieces. My coolness level increases with an afternoon like this...soft serve ice cream cones for everyone...before dinner!  

Sam Jam's Handy-work

I love living closer to Sam Jam, it is like having a professional nail tech at my beckon call whenever I please! 

My Partner In Crime

This girl is quite the worker. She shredded lots a paper, did some advanced calculations on the calculator, talked on the phone a lot, and followed direction very well. Mama Berry did give her a pop break and of course I asked if they thought we were in the USA, because we weren't that day. That day we were China, no breaks. ;) 

And I was caught eating one of my top 5 favorite foods...Mama Berry's homemade rolls with Mama Berry's homemade raspberry jam. 

My Latest Fashion Statement

After a major migraine I started to sport these babies to protect my eyes and while they don't do much for my face it sure beats migraines. 

Mattie Faye Turns The Big 1!

This little short-stack is ONE! She's running around like she owns the place. I sure love Miss Mattie Faye. She's among an elite set of ladies with the Faye name. I know Ardella Faye would think she's pretty wonderful as well! 

Happy Birthday Mattie Faye! Love you!
