Another Canning Day

We are trying to pull in the harvest before the cold snap this weekend. Today we made 22 quarts of stewed tomatoes even though we lost one in the canner.


Baby Doll was my best helper!


Along with tomatoes, we also made 15 small jars of pickled beets.


And we prepped tomatoes and peppers so my sweetie could make us a delicious pot of stuffed peppers.


Happy Canning Day!!

Hanging Out With Scout

Today was Columbus Day; a bank holiday. So Scout had the day off and she and I spent pretty much the whole day together. We started by hanging out with Bossy (who also had the day off). 

Then we went to lunch at Mo' Bettas. I had never been there before and I thought it might be fun to try. 


The food was pretty good and not too busy, so we sat for a long time and visited.


Then we took the car for a great wash and we detailed it together. Since we were right next to JATC, we stopped by to say hi to her old teacher.


A trip to Kohl's and some great bargains; we were on our way back when my sweetie suggested we all go see a movie. We chose 6 Days in August. It was amazing!! I ate so much 🍿. 

Such a great day.

Grandpa's Pumpkin Patch and Birthday Party

Today was a good day. Not long after church, our awesome friend, Bob, came by to share the ghost story with our not-so-little kids.



After that, we finished up the ribs and slaw, pulled pork sliders and baked potatoes that we had planned for the party.

When Princess and The Frog got there, we had Duchess open her birthday gifts. She turned 4 today!!



The last one had special significance. I found a piece of fabric left from the dresses I made for my 3 little princesses, Princess being the oldest of the 3. So I made her little cutie a dress to match the one her mama wore years ago.


After we all stuffed ourselves, we headed for the pumpkin patch. We started youngest to oldest.8






Curly got the biggest one of all!!




Happy Pumpkin Day!!
