Susan in TN Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 How is it almost 11:00 already!?! :willy_nilly: I have been looking up my jam recipes and if I make 8 batches of peach jam, that will use up about half the peaches. That's 40 pints of jam. I need to look through supplies and see what I have on hand. I'm pretty sure I don't have 40 pint jars - we're still eating the blueberry/grape jam from last summer! I really want to make some strawberry rhubarb. I have a bit of rhubarb in the freezer, but not quite enough - it is really hard to come by in this area. Have to make sandwiches and go pick up the girls from fiddle camp. :seeya: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I was writing and encouraging fellow writers. We tend to be an easily discouraged lot--having a good dose of the stubborns isn't a bad character trait for a writer. The cat continues to act like she's been alone all her life and I'm a terrible person for not petting her every minute of the day. Good job even getting to my keyboard because there's a cat in front of it... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I rearranged the front room. Now I need to sweep it and get the laundry folded and think about baking something for dinner. I was going to fry chicken, but standing over the stove getting popped by grease just isn't appealing right now. I think I'll bake it instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Susan, dynamite. Jean, dynamite. Anyone else? dynamite. We just waited at the pool for hours until the swim meet was finally cancelled. So now we're home. yay. (I should have signed up to be age group parent tonight instead of the first crazy chaotic week. Next year, I'm checking the almanac before I sign up.) I made biscuits earlier this afternoon and they were.... stale? It was weird - even before I added the milk I could tell the dough smelled funny. But everything I used was within freshness dates by a year or more. We went ahead and finished making them and baking them which mostly helped, but you could still taste the "staleness" a little bit. So weird. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 In an effort to “use it and not lose it”, I am throwing myself into working hard. Monday: Vacuumed 1/2 the stairs and the hallway. Shampooed the same. Tuesday: vacuumed living room and dining room. Shampooed the same. Wednesday: vacuumed second 1/2 of stairs and landing, dh’s office and the Schoolroom of Doom. Shampooed the stairs, landing and Dh’s office. Guess what I shampoo tomorrow? I Am SO SORE!! But I feel less like a deadbeat mom. And I chiropractored so I’m good.
