One of the benefits of not being able to breath or sleep is I got all the pears processed in one night. I promise no snot made its way into these jars. Gross disclaimer but true. The crockpot did most of the work. I left the skins on, diced up the pears, put them in the crock added sugar and vanilla extract and some all spice. After twelve hours of cooking I blended it and canned it up.It is YUM
Pear Butter
Day four of feeling like something that comes out of the backend of a dog. Went to the DR's, got antibotic, got Umcka, got Emergen-c and throwing everything I can at this crap. Praying for forgivness for cussing out the little beasties at middle school that gave this to me.
These people inspire me. They have taught me love, partnership, commitment,and patience. They have taught me the meaning of best friend.
They have taught me how to handle things with grace and that the Lord is our best friend and one to lean on. They have taught me the importance of family.
Thank you Mom and Dad. Happy Anniversary. We love you.
Look at these pictures!!!! Seriously?!? I think my parents near live heaven. This would be my idea of heaven. Wild horses walking down my street.
And there are babies. Oh I wish I was there but so very thankful that mom sent these to me. Don't move parents. I need to be able to visit this place.

Weekend started off with some happy mail from my Aunt. Inside were my NaNa's Pyrex bowls. I have an orange one of hers that she gave me when I married Doug and I still have it(20yrs later) and use it most days. To get these bowls is such a treat and make me feel like Nana is close to me. Can't even express how much I miss her.
Friday night I put some peaches in the crockpot to start a peach sauce. Different than the butter this can go savory or sweet depending on how you want to use it. This morning canned 5 pints of that and yesterday canned 10 quarts of halves. I have to give back the pot I've been borrowing. It's time to buy my own now that I can do this.
I've also started my Russian doll quilt. It's going to be 30 blocks 5x6 A large lap quilt I think.
And as always I've enjoyed Nana dog. Taking walks, hanging out in the back yard, lots of snuggles and tomorrow we start our second class. Really love and enjoy our weekend time.
And up to my elbows today, canned 10 quarts of peach halves in a light syrup. And my lids sealed as I said a prayer over each one. A grand victory indeed.
