End of Summer

Hello! My bro asked me why I haven't been blogging.... so I thought that I would fill him in. The unfortunate thing is.... its not very exciting what I have been doing. I feel as though I am an ant storing up for the winter. Only really.... do we have to store up for the winter if we have Walmart? The end of Summer in Nebraska brings.... loads and loads... and loads of fresh fruits and veggies that must be delt with. So this week I did corn, tomatoes (actually MIL did the tomatoes) and made salsa and such. What I need to do is figure out what to do with the 10lbs of peaches I bought. So hence, everything else goes by the wayside. But now I do have like 40 bags of corn in my freezer... so I have to say that is a good feeling. I am thinking of making peach jam... just need to find the perfect recipe. C and c are good.... today while we were getting ready for church... C went and got his and his bro's carseats out of the truck and put them in the minivan. He is such a little man. He is only 4, and he was like... mom, I switched the carseats for you. Little c is so busy.... I can't keep him out of the trash to save my life. Today... he was in the bathroom trash pawing and eating whatever he can get his hands on. Floss...tissue.... things that are tooo gross to even mention. I hope he outgrows this phase soon!!

Auction


My friend and went to an auction today.... great fun. It is sort of like gambling at a garage sale... because you are all raising your hands... and the adrenaline starts flowing.... and suddenly you have bought something completely silly. I am going to post pics of what I bought.... because I want someone to see them.. and say... yeah... those looked cute. They are.... silver coffee mugs. From far away.... they looked cute... like a tin child's cup is what I was thinking. And someone who was closer to said cups was bidding against me... so I thought they can't be too bad. Alas... I got them... and they were just rusty old cups. For 6 dollars. Which is a small fortune at an auction. I also came home with 2 small camping type chairs that I got for one dollar.... and the worst yet.... 2 dressers. Only one of which is close to cute. The other... the owner of the auction... was like... you should take this one too. So now, after 5 hours and 20 bucks..... I have 3 tin cups... 2 chairs and 2 dressers. Good thing I have an entire farm to fill....
