LET ME OUT OF THE KITCHEN...PLEASE!!!!

Canning, Freezing and more Canning!!!


I'm beginning to fill like a prisoner in my own kitchen. Whew!!
The tomatoes are finally starting to end. I thank the cool nights for that.



I do want to try a recipe that I found to make Enchilada Sauce. I'll make that tonight and if it turns out ok, I will post the recipe.



The freezer is almost full also! I think I have enough zucchini to make zucchini bread for awhile. But my family could eat that or pumpkin bread every day if I would cook it.

Remember those chickens that Kelly got for Easter? (I think I posted before about the chick mansion that Kelly & Grampy built... LOL) {{{{ AFTER LOOKING THROUGH MY OLD POSTS, I SEE THAT I NEVER TOLD YOU ABOUT THEM YET. SO THAT WILL BE ANOTHER POST.LOL}}}} Well, they are laying eggs now! We are getting about 6 eggs a day. So I got a pasta maker and we've been making our own noodles. Dang, am I becoming little Miss Homemaker or what???
I'm hoping to get this "Winter Food Storage" thing done soon.

On the 1st of October, Hubby & I are planning to go to Florida to stay with some friends for a few days. Thennnnn....I need to lock myself in my craft room and get some stuff done. I've closed my Etsy shop and plan on reopening about the 15th. You will have to check it out. I have some pretty cool things planned (pumpkins, turkeys and ugly dolls).

OK OK
Enough talking!
It seems that when I get on the computer, I could use up the whole day.
Later.....

Alaskan Glaciers







Here are some more pictures of our Alaskan vacation! These are of the glaciers. Aren't they magnificent?



Do you see the cave area at the bottom of the glacier by the water? There is a waterfall formed from the ice melting inside the glacier.

The water was coming out so fast it was making a loud rumbling noise that you could hear way before you even got to the glacier.




Here is Kelly taking in the view from the balcony of our room on the ship.









The glaciers had the most brilliant color of blue stripes. I was amazed at how much dirt was on them though.









Seagulls were having a rest on top of one of the icebergs.


There were lots of icebergs floating in the bay. They were pieces of the glaciers that had fallen off.







Grampy and Kelly were having a great time exploring the ship. I think Kelly got a little tooo used to the excellent service on board !!
But even on vacation....there is a few things that still have to be done. Even Laundry!!!!






I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A PEACEFUL EVENING TONIGHT!!!
