"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Peaches and Pears and Corn!!!

This is what I have been busy with for the last couple weeks. You could say I became slightly addicted and now I don’t know what to do with my time because I have no peaches to do. I did a total of 80 quarts and 12 pints of peaches and 22 pints and 4 quarts of pears. My brother Jesse loves my peaches so I told him if he would buy his own peaches and bottles I would do some for him so I ended up doing 24 pints and 5 quarts of peaches for him. I also managed to do 74 bags of freezer corn and I had to put a lot of corn in my bags this year because I have added another big eater to my family (Jaxon) he eats everything all day long!!! I am so excited to have all of this done and to have my shells full of something besides cereal and green beans :) My family loves peaches and when we open one bottle we always have to open a second so it will be nice to have so many this winter.
