Everything I am doing now is waterbath I don't own a pressure canner yet. The strawberry lemonade is 6C hulled strawberries that you puree until smooth (though I used 7C crushed just to use them up), 4 C fresh lemonade (I used bottle lemon juice that was equal to fresh) and 6 C sugar. Stir them together over medium heat, use a thermometer to measure because you want to take it off the heat when it hits about 190F, do not let it boil. Then fill prepared jars, and process them in the wat...

Can't sleep, don;t know if my brother and sil are okay or not, many communities in the city they live in have been evacuated due to flooding. I don't know the exact community they live in and it is too late to call them to check on them
-
finally heard back last night, sort of. Sil posted on fb they were safe, but still can't get ahold of brother on phone. Found out the name of their community and it was partially evacuated so far. Hoping they (and their brand new house) remain safe and dry. Out in Alberta there is no such thing as flood insurance, so if they flood they lose everything and insurance doesn't cover any of it.

dd5's advice for vegetarians that like to eat meat (like she says she is) is to ask the animal first if it is a good animal or bad animals, good animals you can not kill and eat, but bad animals you can. The animals will always tell the truth she says, so just ask first and be careful, then you can be a vegetarian that likes to eat meat.

If you were my copy of the Teaching Company's course on the Aeneid, where would you be hiding?

My baby girl is 13 today. I am now the mom of 3 teens. Loving life today.

DD13 has declared me the best mom ever. I found her free horse riding, something she has been begging for years to do but I could not afford it. I found a way for her to do so for free!
-
Thank you. Looks like she will learn the basics of tack, grooming and feet, and get to exercise 2 horses as much as she wants for free from a mom that has a toddler and infant and just doesn't have time to ride her horses as much as they need. She just wants them exercised so no charge, though she is open to dd babysitting occasionally in exchange too. I am so glad I put out word I was looking for this for dd :)

After reading a chapter in their Landmark history book, the boys made a bridge out of K'nex--I'm grabbing the camera and SL catalog, here I come!

Well I was about to take the tree down, but our water pipes just burst. So, I guess the tree is safe for now.

Having nothing to do sounds better on paper.

Why did my daughter wake me up at 5am? For chocolate chips, of course.

Hormonal 12yo girls should come with a vat of Prozac/Valium.

Remember when trolls were just ugly dolls with crazy hair?
