canning season

i made 13.5 pints of grape jelly today, had to run to mom's and get a can of grape juice and came home and made another batch. i have a bushel of apples in the back of the truck and a lug of peaches on the table. going to make what is called apple pie jam and make some peach jam with them. we haven't picked our apples yet. i'll make apple butter and apple sauce out of those.
tomorrow starts the NFL. i'm so thrilled. i love football. it was exciting to watch the Iowa game last weekend even if they did win by the skin of their teeth. i am not a vikings fan but i'm a Brett Favre fan and hope he does well with the vikings. we root for the packers of course. i have no loyalty because i also root for KC and indianapolis and others.
mom is doing ok. she got 2 cortizone shots to her knees last week. she says it hasn't helped. she went and got a perm today. she has curls.
i haven't talked with uncle ray for a while. i should call him and see what's going on.
it's been so busy around here. friday i'm going to a garage sale that i've been watching for. some ladies always have a garage sale and they have fabric and i plan on being there friday when it opens. i already informed bruce i was going to be there.
penny came up last week and stayed the night and the next day we piddled around. we had fun. she has doctor's appt. up here and then she stops by. we always gab.
we're in south dakota next week. bruce just informed me of this yesterday. we'll be gone tuesday, wednesday and thursday. so guess i have to figure out what i'm wearing and such. we have the south dakota petroluem marketers' convention. i have a crocheted afghan i'm working on with granny squares so will take that. the dogs are being boarded and the kitty will be in the basement.
well, i better go and get busy. my house is a disaster. Love to all, treasa
