I took this while on a walk the other day. I’ve always liked this little bird house.

Grandma was like my second mom and I never knew Grandpap. He died when I was a year old.
Grandma died at age 91 3 months after I got married. I was lucky enough to get some wedding photos with her even though she couldn’t come to the wedding.

This was taken on a neighboring farm. I want one now. ![]()
I’m a little late making applesauce this year. It usually takes me 2 days to do 2 or 3 bushels of apples. This year we bought 2 bushels. I also bought something that made it so much easier that I finished in 5 hours instead of 2 days!


And here is what I bought to make things easier. A KitchenAid! I can’t believe I’ve done without it all these years. I’ve been using a hand cranked food mill that used to take me forever! Not anymore.

Finished product. Total of 25 quarts canned.

Here is a look at my daughter’s contribution for Thanksgiving. Chocolate Filled Crescents.

All desserts are made. Just waiting to cut the ham.
Later!
Pumpkin pies have been made. Ham goes in the roasters tomorrow morning and cookies will be baked. It’s nice that we’ll be going to my sister’s and they are eating in the late afternoon so things won’t feel so rushed.
Then Friday starts with the applesauce making. Always a fun time. Not….
I have 1686 bookmarks on del.icio.us.
Did I ever mention I’m a pack rat?
