Ouch!

Just incase you have been wondering what it feels like to drop a dutch oven from waist heighth onto your big toe - it hurts bad!!!! I now have a purple, throbbing toe that hurts to have any pressure on it. I wouldn't suggest you try it for yourself!!

Suzy Homemaker!

I realize that this is not a term that has really ever been used for me, I don't like to cook (take out tonight...) and my house is never spotless no matter how hard I try. But I do have to say that I have made a new step towards the title of Suzy Homemaker... I canned pears this week... Up until this point in my life I have taken my mom's attitude towards canning (I'll work and pay for the cans instead of having to can!!) We have a pear tree that I offered all the fruit to my sister Mandy, but she talked me into helping her can them. I have to admit that she did all the organizing, cooking, and preparing, but I did peel and cut pears for a good 4 to 5 hours!!! Now she is talking me into helping with the peaches as well....I guess we are both suckers for free food and I have to say there is something about adding to food storage that makes me feel like I have accomplished something!

Just For You, Krissy!!

My sister, Krissy, came to visit us for week and we had a great time. We were really sad to see her leave, my girls still ask when Aunt Krissy is coming back - thankfully she is moving back to the states in March (or April or May - at least sometime with in the next year!!) I just had to post this picture of you, Kris so that when you tell the story to Brandon and you are laughing again, he can at least have an idea as to how great you look!!! Love ya!
