a quiet sunday

i haven't been here much, between doctor's apointments and getting stuff canned, it's been busy around here. bruce has been helping out at a booth at the fair almost every night and i've been here. i have canned 99 pints of green beans this week and 18 pints of peaches. i have another bushel coming tomorrow of beans. they sure taste better than the store bought canned ones. ick! when it's canning season, the house usually stays the way it is until i get done canning. went to both doctors last week and i got a clean bill of health. my lab work came back kind of screwy but the nurse says when they mess with the thyroid it messes with all your metabolic counts. my cholesterol came back high and some other things were off. i don't eat alot and stay with low fat, low cholesterol diet and exercise monday through friday. so they're going to re-check it in 3 months. i have to hear from them concnerning how many calcium i'm to be taking a day. but i feel good and am glad to be back to doing what i normally do. it's so good to drive and get to the store instead of relying on others.
our garden hasn't produced like i had hoped. i was just out there and our tomatoes are ready to be picked and our corn didn't do anything. we have huge onions though. we have weeds up to my butt and i was out there a few times but think i just gave up as it's a never ending battle between me and the weeds. bruce always plants this huge garden then it seems he's always busy and doesn't get out there as much as both of us should.
uncle ray had a birthday the 19th of august and i called him and wished him a happy birthday. i felt bad thinking i should have had him over for supper of something but maybe this next week after the canning of beans.
mom is doing ok. she still haves alot of pain from her tailbone but she's been getting out a little and has some pool therapy at mercy hospital. she is in a lot of pain after that, but like we both say if you don't use it, you'll lose it.
we haven't gotten the final statement for the surgery. i think i'm scared of that one. we got a statement from the hospital stating they were billing our insurance company $14,000 and some odd change. i was like yikes!!
penny came up last week and while i was stemming beans, she piddled around with my plants and she stayed the night and left the next morning. it was nice seeing her. good thing we have a spare bedroom downstairs. jasmine, our kitty, thinks that room is hers downstairs. ha!
we traveled over to eastern iowa thursday. bruce had a customer to see and we had a nice day trip. neither one of us has been real thrilled about traveling lately. been kind of staying around home. we haven't had the boat out for a while. of course, i was on restriction for 2 weeks. last weekend it was too HOT! now this weekend it was nice temperature wise. yesterday i opened up the house and turned the air off. it was wonderful. don't think it made it to 70 degrees.
we went to the brooks and dunn concert friday night at the state fair. we had a nice time, other than our seats sucked big time. but i was thrilled to be seeing them especially since they announced they were breaking up the act. it was a good concert.
well, i better go. God Bless, Treasa
