Redemption

Ok so I have to ask to be redeemed from being such a slacker and not posting anything for sooooooooooo long. One of my excuses is not having or making enough time to try to learn the ropes of this cyber thing. The other reason is that I feel like life has truly taken me over.

So enough of that. Here it is fall again, and I am loving the weather we are having. I love fall because of the change colors and smells that come with it all. I have always loved to can food. So when fall comes around I usually can jams and fruit and even salsa. This year I tried to grow a salsa garden and so far all I have been able to produce is green peppers. With the summer being so wet so late in the season, my tomatoe vines are huge but the produce is minimal. I will try to do better next year by covering them.

We just got back from a family campout up at current creek. Zac and his family and Mackenzie and her family came up. We all camped together at the camp ground. Wow what a surreal feeling it is to see your family grow and to see your kids become good parents. We had fun trying to catch the big fish but we truly got skunked. We even saw a rainbow on a very sunny day. Since Sadie passed away, I have never seen so many rainbows on clear bright days. We'd like to think it is her way of saying, I'm here with you all and looking over you. Boy do I miss that little gal. The hurt sometimes is overwhelming. I just have to get a good cry out of me and then continue on. It's really hard. I can't imagine how Zac and T are getting thru this but they are pillars of stregnth to us all.

After coming back from our trip yesterday, I stopped by the cematary to visit Little Miss Sadie. Her resting place is to peaceful and surreen. She should be getting her headstone soon. Zac said it is beautiful.

Well, as I simplify my life, I am making a pledge to write on this blog more frequently. Take care!
