Ya'll must think the only thing that I do is sit on the computer and type. It has just been a long day. I've actually got a lot accomplished. I picked up my paycheck that was nearly 10 hours short. OUCH. I was hoping it was more, but darn it! My next one will be about 18 hours short. This is going to be interesting. Within the next month we have to pay 3 mortgage payment and buy a new flue liner. I'm sure that we can do it as long as the UE holds out. My husband was required to create a letter of appreciation to someone, they said it could be the George Washington or anyone, he decided to write it to me. It was so touching that I nearly cried. Sunshine is being impossible tonight, he is about ready to be sent to bed alone. Anyhow, the successful day, sorry my mind is being pulled in a million directions. We picked up a exercise thingy from someone today on FC. It wasn't what I thought but looks like fun to do. One the way home we went to WT and picked up rain barrels that we found for $5.00 each. They were horribly dirty with the corn syrup that was originally put in them. We tried to wash them at the local car wash but it didn't work. I'm going to have to bleach them and wash them out as good as I can. It will take hours, but might be worth it. We are going to use one for the gray water system in the basement, 3 for rain barrels to water the garden, one is for EW and the other we are going to experiment with hydrogen on the other one.
Tonight when we finally got home, unloaded and returned the trailer I canned 14 qrts of bean soup. The first 7 turned out mushy which is my fav and the second 7 turned out okay. We'll have to see how they taste, the last batch I used 15 kinds of beans with extra pinto, kidney, navy and great northern and a bit of ham. This time I added in some carrots and bacon. I'm interested in trying it out in the next couple of days. We were both dying for potatoe soup so I made some. I used fresh diced red potatoes, crushed red peppers, minced garlic, minced onions, skin-less smoked sausage, creme and a bit of butter. It was so yummy we both had seconds and Smiley had 3rds. Tomorrow after I take Sunshine for his blood work, I will do the veggie soup and let Duck finish it while I'm at work.
Well I should head off to bed, this has taken me about an hour to write since we are watching a movie.
Me.
