Been very busy and family update

I love summer's harvest. First comes the cucumbers and I canned 22 pints of dill pickles. Dill and cucumbers from our garden. Then we got zucchini and summer squash. After eating a ton I froze sliced bags for later. Then the banana peppers, green peppers and tomatoes start. I have made 5 pints of pepper relish and my first batch of salsa. I was trying to modify a recipe and I am not happy with the first batch but I have more than enough tomatoes to try again ~Smile~ I am trying to make it more like you get a the restaurants. Thick and smooth. This first batch had that but not enough kick for me. A friend picked up a peck of peaches yesterday for me so I will be canning peaches also. I love harvest time ~smile~. I will be going to the farmers market I hope on Tuesday to see what they have. I am wanting beans and corn. I would love some peas also. Yummy. We did not plant any of these so I need to find a good source. I am trying to preserve as much as I can for winter.

I have been sick though. Along with the summer harvest comes summer's heat. I get migranes from the heat. The last three weeks I have had headache after headache. Now to top it all of I have pink eye. Why not?!? I have no idea who I got it from. Kids seem to have avoided it so far. My fibro has been acting up also. Really hard to move around - not good when you need to can.

Ian has not been able to find a full time job yet. If you could remember him in your prayers I would appreciate it. He is really getting discouraged. Rachel leaves for college one month from today. Wow !!!!! This summer has really flown but she is sooo excited. I need to get alot of sewing done in the next month ~smile~ I would rather stitch but it must be done. We need to go through her clothes also. David goes back to work the first week of August. I think open house is August 4 or 5 and he wants his room done by then. Both kids have gone in on their days off to help him get ready. Still no word on my disability. I am getting discouraged but I have been told it could take another year.

I have decided after much prayer and consideration to stop selling Avon. I want to concentrate on other things now. I will be giving notice to my customers this week. I will most likely be putting in two more orders July 25 and August 8 and then that is it.

Well I must go ....I have spaghetti sauce on the stove top and I need to work on my menus for this week. God Bless.
