Update

"Silence is Golden"????? Have you missed my blogging? Things have been really busy in our house. We have been finishing the bedroom and bathroom remodeling. It is going fairly well. I am already starting to think about my garden and have noticed my strawberries are coming up. I need to weed them soon though. Dan has already mowed once this year at our house and my mother's house too. Mom broke (shattered) her femur (upper leg) in January and she hasn't been as mobile as before but her recovery is coming along very rapidly and she just recently progressed to a cane. She goes to therapy 3 times a week. Usually Dan or I take her but her friend is visiting this past week and she has been helping with that. Thanks Peggy. This last weekend we went to Talladega which gave us a nice break from all the activity. It was a lot of fun and a close race with Jimmy Johnson winning by seconds. Now we are back and have a growing list of things needing done. Whew! I did manage to can some stuff Tuesday. Spaghetti, macaroni, flour, dried onions and rice. Hoping to have a good garden this year since my tomato sauces and salsas are getting low. Planning to have an Easter Egg hunt with the fire department pancake breakfast this Saturday. I managed to keep that on the back burner far too long. But thanks to Kate it is coming together. I will try to post some new pictures soon on this blog. I don't want to bore you all with the same thing and I do have some new pictures to share. My laptop is getting very slow and outdated though which takes more time than I have so I end up putting it off. So once again I will put it off...just a few more days...LOL. TTYL

Been very busy lately. I am picking the last of my garden and prepping for next year. Tired of canning. Haven't done as much as last year but still canned plenty. Today I am canning sauerkraut. My first attempt at the old fashioned German Kraut. My Grandpa would be proud. I believe there are still about 5 heads of cabbage in Mom's garden. Tomorrow I will check and if so I will make more. Still working crazy hours. Having no kids home sure makes the housework easier. I was going to do some loads of laundry today and realized there wasn't much to do. Only TWO loads!!!! Now if DW and I quit wearing clothes I would have it made!! LOL
