I got up early this morning and went right to work canning, after having done the same yesterday. I can proudly say I have pinto bean with harissa, chicken stock, and chicken in jars all scurried away in my cupboard. I had been a little lax in canning for several weeks and I don't like to get behind and have lazy jars. Today I have made more stock, lentil soup, white bean and fennel soup. I actually just ran out of propane and about had heart failure thinking I would have to start my two pressure canners from the begin and one of them only had 30 minutes of a 90 minute run left. I told Poppie and in three minutes time he changed the tank and had me up and running, I stayed over the 11 lb mark so I didn't have to start anew, what a wondrous man. I am a blessed woman.
I must tell you I had a great month and did think of you from time to time but the truth be known I was enjoying my kids, my grands, my friends, my Church and my husband to much to be really contrite. I am not ashamed that is the first time in 3 years I have been gone any real length of time. We camped twice, once right up in the middle of our huckleberry patch. We picked 5 gallons in a day and a half, making our totally haul 15 gallons this year. We had three of the grands with us. Poppie and I did all of the picking as the kids enjoyed being on the top of a mountain in Montana. We went camping again this last weekend, our Yogie always picks camping for her birthday. She and Booboo both caught their first ever fish and got the fishing bug, Yogie caught 17 all toll while Booboo caught 4. They had a wondrous few days of camping. I read in the woods and regenerated my life indulging in care free reading of the Lord's word, and the girls cooked all the meals so I was truly blessed. We all needed the get away days to reset.
This last week we were blessed with our annual visit from Vegas, it still really amazes me that she gives up one of her days with her family each year on vacation to spend a day with all of us in this family. We love her visits so much and await them on pens and needles each year, it seem like we have known her for a life time but truly it has only be 4 years, that's 5 visits, yay.
We had a emergency in that last month that was very scary. Our dear Bubbles was helping pick up garbage and broken toys out of the her yard when she tripped and fell on the toy she was picking up. It went up her nose and came out the side of her nose below the bone. It cut a hole in her nose bigger than her nostril. She was taken immediately to the ER. Yogie, Poppie and I were not home, had to hold pressure on while Mokie drove. They took her by ambulance to Zoo town to do surgery, they took her into surgery and the plastic surgeon on call said he couldn't not complete the surgery as he was not qualified to do such intricate work on such a small child. They took her to recovery and sent her bandage up home. There had been a scare that she would have to go to Seattle but the surgeon found a plastic surgeon that was out of town that could do the surgery. He returned and with in the week he did the surgery. He did a wondrous job and the baby should have as minimal a scar as possible and won't have a disfigured nose. She is good about leaving it alone to heal and keep her band aides in place. The Lord be praised any other place she would have fallen on the broken toy would have been much worse, thank God for his Grace and love in keeping her safe.
We experience bad news in our Church Violinist and her Mom have left our church and that has caused such sorrow for their leaving to all in the congregation. I pray the Lord takes them to where they need to be in their lives and my love goes with them.
Well I have two pressure canners calling out to me in their tist tist tist, manner. I pray that the Lord is the authority in your life and you are saved by the Lord Jesus Christ's blood there is no other way to life with God in heaven, receive his Grace today..... tomorrow.
