Late summer days

What would summer be without canning?  This summer nearly slipped by without putting anything up around here, but luckily, one of the members at Bethel had extra tomatoes and was willing to share - yeah!  So now we have 30 pints of salsa at home!  It actually went pretty well and I even tidied up as I go, so the kitchen isn't even a disaster.  Pears and apples should be coming on soon, so ginger pear jelly and lots of apple goodies will be up next.

It has finally gotten hot - just in time for hte kids to go back to school, poor things.  But the worst one is niece Ciara - she's gone to Butler college and discovered there is no AC in the dorm - YIKES!  She's gone from a comfy 70 degrees to SUMMER! It's making her miserable and hopefully we'll have some better temps soon so she can begin to enjoy her college experience.

Ellen got sick again, same virus.  We went for blood work and it all came back normal, and no mono.  So, I'm  kinda holding my breath to see if it comes back again.  If it does, I'll begin to be very concerned and want the doctors to start looking a whole lot harder.

Quilting is going well.  I delivered another one over the weekend, and she was pleased.  I also worked last week on a new brochure & busines cards for the t-shirt quilting part of my business.  They have come in and I really like them.  Fall sports season is just starting so I'm hoping to catch all those football, cheerleader, band & cross country moms who want quilts made out of Bobby or Sally's shirts (well more like
