I was gone all day yesterday--just running around. Went down to the south end of town to see my friends little house that she is working on. It is tiny, but she wants to move to it because it will be less to take care of as she gets older.

From there I went HERE This is not a fancy website and needs to be updated...but it contains several pictures I have taken. It is my former place of employment...I just went to visit with the owners...it was and still feels like my home away from home. It felt like home the first time I set foot on the place 20+ years ago--and I worked there for 19 years. Only part-time, but most of the years were part-time year round...there is always something to do. Pruning, preparing for the coming season, planting new trees, cutting down old trees, etc. Go to PHOTOS and look in the album titled Orchard and see more pictures from there.

Today I got up and went to my daughter's house and we did 15 dozen ears of corn...we blanche it, cut it off the cob, bag it and freeze it. They love it...we did Six dozen ears last weekend and she is still not sure this will be enough. I told her she would be lucky if it lasted till winter.

I also got to see the baby kitties again....I am in love! They are so cute. I plan to get one soon as they are old enough.

Dumb, dumb, dumb! I am so disgusted with myself. That lining I pinned in the quilting frame a few days ago--I ended up getting it too short for the log cabin top. In ways I can't believe I did it, but in others it is typical of me to make a dumb mistake. I am not taking it out to sew a length on, but will do a different quilt top. Not sure which one yet...I am leaning pretty strongly towards a flying geese quilt top I did a few years ago. It really upset me that I did that. Maybe tomorrow I will feel more like doing something with it. Today when I discovered the mistake I had made, I just didn't feel like doing anything at all.

So, I made myself do laundry, vacuum and mop. At least those are done and won't have to be done again tomorrow. That way if something else don't happen, I can concentrate on something fun for a change.

Just finished canning these 5 quarts of salsa a few minutes ago!

I wish I had a bigger garden--both my daughters love my homemade salsa. A quart of it does not last very long at all at any of our homes. So I am hoping to get to make more.

Our car, a 1998 Toyota Camry with 140,000 miles on it has decided to give us some problems. We cannot complain though, as this is only the third thing we have had to deal with it since we got it in 2000. The other was the water pump and as it was time for it, the mechanic just went ahead and changed the timing belt while he had it. They both had lasted much longer than is normal. So, with the problem now, which my husband and son-in-law think is the starter, my husband had to drive the truck to work. Leaving me without wheels till it is fixed.

Otherwise, I would be very tempted to go on a hunt for a bushel of tomatoes. There are several Amish families in Parke Country that sells produce. If we get it fixed, I may try to go next week....I have promised to go help my daughter freeze corn again on Saturday. Her stepson wants to come and help, but don't know if his mom will allow him. He would be my daughter's shadow if they had them all the time. It is so strange, he is so much like her that it isn't even funny.

I definitely need to go start on some laundry now...it has been waiting patiently for 2 days. I was hoping it would decide to do itself, but no such luck.
