What have I been doing?

written by Sue, Thursday, May 27, 2011                                   Sunny windy and very hot 95degrees..
Mother came by Wednesday, the beets were ready, she and I made pickled beets together, here is the link if you want to see how we did it... so easy...

 ........She always comes bearing gifts, sometimes it is sweets that she has made,  sometimes she brings me clothes, but today she came bearing this.... isn't this pretty, I will now try and find the perfect place for it

The photo doesn't do it justice. It is very old.

I have reverted back to my childhood, as I am now like a child wondering what treasure she will bring me when she comes again. ~smile~
We always have such a great time , and work so well together....

Here is a little tip about prolonging your celery. I wash it really well with Shaklee's Basic -H,  trim the ends off and then  place in a jar of cold water,goes in the refrigerator, it really stays so fresh and last twice as long. ~ Notice the eggs? the hens have been really showing off, and that is okay with me.

We finished preserving the English peas this week,... 36 pint jars, and 30 bags in freezer. We were so pleased.

Three guesses who Lucy is looking at, and two of them don't count. She and Mr P. like to play kick ball , she will whine until he stops what he is doing and play with her, I am not the only one who is spoiled around here. ~LOL~

Mr P picked, I shelled, I almost kept up with him,~lol~ we both are so competitive, that comes from both of us playing sports in high school. ~grin~

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit me, and for all of your encouraging "Notes". I will be back tonight to visit,... I must get dressed, my favorite Guy has asked to take me out for dinner tonight, he thinks we need a break, and I will not argue this fact. ~happy face~

until next time,

Sue
