Canning!!!






I am happy to say that after 8 days an average of 6-7 hours a day. we are finally done with all our peaches, pears, and green beens we have canned about 240 jars ranging in size and items in it!! Unfortunantely we will be reopening some of our juices to turn them into jelly and syrup!! I am hoping that we can wait a few weeks or months before we start into those! Now i am just trying to clean and take all the jars to the basement! These pictures are from sunday showing the mid way progress!!!

Overwhelmed





Hey everyone!!! I waited to post another blog just to see how you all would vote!! :) So i have been checking my blog thinking of ones i should post and pictures i should add but just waiting to see if any of you had any faith in me! he he


So i am so freakin tired! I have about 15 loads of laundry to do, my entire house to clean, I need to haul about 100 more jars of peach crap! 5 bags of 25 lbs of sugar and 120 cans of food to the basement and then label everything (including the 250 cans down there we just bought) and find places for it all on our shelves that are already full even though we just bouth 2 more huge shelves that are 6 ft tall!!! I need to wash all the jars of peaches before we haul them down cause they are sticky and my entire kitchen is a sticky mess from all the canning!!!


But good news is we have a TON of FOOD in our food storage and i feel pretty good about the amount there are just a few more things to buy and then from here on out we will just do our coupon shopping and cut our grocery bill down to almost nothing!!


Okay sorry about my grumpy post but I AM TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOODNIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too Busy To Do What I Want!

So, this is Teresa's first post, and .. well.. she isn't writing it. This is Julie, her upmost bestest friend in the whole entire world... (she may word it a little different). Teresa told me today that she decided she wanted to join the blogging world, but she is just too busy to do what she wants to do. So together with her in the kitchen taking care of MORE PEACHES and myself in by her computer typing away, we have put together this blog. HOPEFULLY, this won't be the only entry, but the beginning of Many! Maybe we should vote! See the bottom of the page to cast yours now!!!
