- I think and hope that we are at the end of the busy season for the summer. Last weekend was the county swim meet and this week, we participated in the VBS put on by our church. I have continued to attend medical appointments so things are still not at a summer’s pace. I am hoping to begin catching up by doing one ‘extra thing” a day. Today. I cleaned our bathroom, it was nasty. I still need to hand mop the floor but at least it is a start. I have 3 weeks left before we head to Disney.
- The replanting of most of the garden two weeks ago has gone well. I also was able to spend a little time and give the tomatoes a good pruning. So far I have been able to can 13 quarts of spaghetti sauce. I am hopeful after the pruning I will be able to double this for 26 quarts from our garden. I am also planning on buying a couple of boxes of tomatoes to make into spaghetti sauce as well as salsa this year. We haver several watermelons and cantaloupes growing but the deer have decided they like my garden as well.
- I spend some time and money on Prime Day this year, with the majority of my Christmas shopping completed. I also am planning and actually have already started to wrap the presents as they arrive! This worked well last year so I am hopeful it will work well again.
- I am working on putting away extra meals and trying to prepare for an extremely busy school year. I focused on bread this week! I have 4 pizza crust in the freezer along with 6 loaves of bread. EVERY BIT counts.
- Zach completed the written part of Driver’s Education this week and is hopefully that he will be able to get the driving part completed before school starts as well. Kendal is over half way finished with her hours required to get her license. Her goal is September 12th.
