It has been a busy time in the last few weeks. We have had gorgeous weather in the mid 60's for 5 staight days. I got windows washed and we even washed the sills and the screens. We had 2 birthdays in Nov. now my baby is 2. It seems she is growing up so fast. My oldest is 4 and uite a little lady. This year we decided not to do birthday gifts but Christmas gifts instead. I have gotten a few things for Rochelle but have not found what I want for Maria. We don't have a tree but we do have other decorations up. We felt a tree with babies is not a wise choice. When the girls are older we would like to purchase an artificial tree so we can reuse it. Last week I canned vegtables, potatoes, carrots, celery & onions, and got a total of 82 jars. Most of them were 1 1/2 pint which is the amount I use for one meal. On Sun we have company coming so I have cleaning on the menu. I plan to have goulash, corn, applesauce, ribbon salad and cheesecake. Well, the cleaning is not getting done by itself so I need to run along.
