[quote:flavapor:MV8xNjEyNjkxXzMwMDg4MDMzXzc5NDRCQjJE] [quote:Texan Buckeye:MV8xNjEyNjkxXzMwMDg3NjA4Xzk5NTU1RDgy] [u]Hi, everyone! Flav, is your website up yet? If it is e-mail it to me. I've got to see this stuff. It sounds wonderful. Now that I'm in humidity land again, my skin is greasing out!!! Yick! Shades of my teenage years! I can't get over the weather here. In the 70's in March...it's NUTS!!! Mom goes in tomorrow am for the knee scope. We have to be there by 6:30. I'm still on central time. That's 4:30 for me! Figures we'd change for DST right after I got here! I've seen most of my nephews, just one more and my niece yet. She's in the school musical with my cousin's son next weekend, so I'm going to the high school production of Annie Get Your Gun. Got to hold the new babies already,too. I should be able to check back in tomorrow night. I'm hopping quite a bit just now. Just now, looking for dad's AWOL cane! We think he left it in the shed this afternoon. It's probably with his pen he lost out in the yard today. Guys...they're breaking my heart! It's better and it's worse. I just don't know what to do about it yet. The only gardening I'll be doing is weeding mom's one flower box and one bed. She doesn't want anything extra 'cause she isn't sure of taking care of it after I leave. She said last year she put silk geraniums in the beds. I asked her if she wanted some in pots and she said no. So...I have to do what she wants. Neither of us likes it. Anyway, I miss talking to you all. Hopefully, I can catch up with you all soon. IF I can get the hang of this danged ole netbook!!! I'm just SO graceful! See ya in the daylight! [/quote] Wow you have been busy. Sounds like you are having plenty of fun in between your obligations! No the site isnt up yet, I gave him a bunch of stuff last week, I am hoping its up and running soon, alot of people are asking. My dad called today to tell me it was in the mid seventies there (upstate NY) today. I could hear him doing back flips thru the phone! Now for the bad news, my brother who is in the national guard, is in Mississippi (training for 8 wks) is being shipped out at the end of the month. He was supposed to go to Kuwait for 18 months, but is now going to Afghanistan. Please keep him in your prayers. We are not to happy about that. He is coming to visit me the last week of March, he doesnt want to go back home to NY and upset his kids. They are only 6 and 10, it was an emotional goodbye. As for my garden, I think I am going to need to replant in certain spots. One entire row didnt sprout anything, it was right next to the sprinkler head that broke that first week, and I think it washed the seeds away or drown them. My loofah plants have popped thru and I am excited about them. TB I will say a prayer for your moms speedy healing and sucussful surgery. Keep us posted. And by the way, you seem to be doing pretty good with that notebook. [/quote]

last year i canned for the first time. wow, i was nervous.
this year, i'm doing better. i have been canning like mad.
if you'd like, tell us your how's and why's. learning to preserve food is one of the most important skills a person can learn.
if you have a picture of your preserved foods uploaded, let me know and i'll post it for you.
