Wish you could know how much it means to a person. Thank you, but actually, I think Dudely is more concerned with being close to his food source and keeping a watchful eye on it so he can snare it before something else does. LOL. It's hard to imagine trying to start a business with young children. It would be exciting, frustrating and hopefully soon it will be rewarding. Congrats to you! I know you'll have great success if you can hang on to your sanity! LOL. Sure do hope you get your appliances fixed soon. I don't have or want a dishwasher, but would hate to be without a dryer. How in the world are you managing to get the kids clothes done? Arrrrgh. That, in itself is an exhausting thought. As dry as it's been most of the summer, perfect for drying clothes outdoors, now it's getting humid. Laundromats suck and even if they have a ton of clothes and you can prolong not doing laundry, it's always on your mind that the mountain of clothes is growing. Doesn't it always seen that when your plate is piled so high you don't know what to do, something comes and dumps more? Adding dish washing for a family has to be near the final straw. Ugh. Make sure with all the hustle and bustle that you have "some" time for yourself that you don't have to do for or think of others. That's probably impossible for you, but it's really important to take care of yourself. You won't do anyone any good if you're sick. Wish I could do something to help you. Rest every chance you get and remember, all those things will get done eventually, so try not to worry about things. It all works out in the end. And when it does work out, you want to be healthy and able to appreciate it. Hugs to you. :Mhug: [/quote] Thank you Nines! I needed that hug tonight! I will catch up with you tomorrow! Just wanted to say Thank You! :hugs: [/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.
