Another work weekend, so getting the thread started before I head out to get the donuts. I only have a few mores weeks to pick up donuts as it looks like it's solid that I will be going back to night shift; only thing left up in the air is when it will happen. I am looking forward to the change - and the extra $$! - as I'm going to need to pick up a couple of saxophones, it seems. Lord, I do love my grandkids if I'm willing to go through saxophone practice again!!
In the prep area, I take older grandson to get registered and attend his first 4-H Shooting Sports Club meeting this week; the date snuck up on me so I've got Hubby scrambling around this weekend to pick up the assorted items that he needs; and we will take him to watch some of the older kids shoot trap on Monday. It's not quite as active of an after school sport as Ninja school or basketball, but I think he will enjoy it.
Also in the prep line up this week is picking up more apples to make applesauce - when you've got two big 'boys' that just discovered Grandma's bright red cinnamon applesauce, and two little ones who are jealous of their stash; something's gotta give - and that something is Grandma Guess I'll go dig out some quart jars and WM lids since a pint isn't enough for them to share - and then I'm putting all four of them to work on the apple peeler/corer!
It's fall clean up time around here - we've gotten most of the canning jars that aren't in current rotation in the house packed away in wooden crates and stored in the shed. Monday, we will be picking up black walnuts and laying them out to dry - betting (hoping!) the squirrels get most of them! I've got several corn fields that I have permission to pick up downed corn so I'm trying to get Hubby to put sideboards on the bed of the old Mule. I've got to get out into the field across the road and cut some corn tassels to use in fall decorations as well - they make good filler in wreaths and bouquets.
Well, dang! I could type half the morning but my alarm is going off so I reckon I'd better get ready for work! You folks all take care out there - stay safe, and keep prepping!
