Two days canning tomatoes ending up with over 50 jars.



Boxes of tomatoes (we ended up doing fiveish?).


Tomatoes get boiled and then you core, skin, and slice them before cramming them into the jars.



Then you get the bubbles out before applying (warmed) lids and rings followed by cooking the whole thing for 35 minutes.



Finished!

And I finally finished 2 pairs of booties that I started about three years ago. Oma finally showed me how to make pompoms too! Gaining skills!






We had issues with the blue pompoms staying on. Oma tried to save one that fell off and it died so I made the pompoms as she stitched them on. A fun joint effort.

And I haven't done it in forever, but my friends list has changed 99% since I last did it so here it goes. If anyone hasn't guessed yet I am LDS, also known as "Mormon." I guess I could use the word "saint," but with the connotation that tends to carry in other religions it sounds a bit presumptuous. Probably outside of Islam the LDS faith is one of the most misunderstood religions out there and I know it is always best to go to the source rather than run on rumor so for the curious and so inclined I open myself up to your question regarding it. I'll probably respond to short questions within this post, but longer, more in-depth questions will be addressed in seperate posts. So ask away, no question is to silly (I've heard some pretty strange ones), and I love a challenge. If I have to do research all the better.

Tomorrow we leave REALLY early. The plane leaves at 5:45 Utah time, which means a quarter 'til 5 in Arizona. I may be home before the boys eat breakfast.

Haha! Yeah, we hide in plain sight sometimes. I'm not one to wear my religion on my sleeve, though I secretly admire those that do. I don't try to hide it at all, but most casual conversation doesn't lend itself to deep doctrinal discussions.

I love tomatoes too, especially fresh! We're getting into the winter growing season (we do that in the Southern desert) and I need to figure out where I can plant something and what to plant! I completely missed Spring and Summer growing, hoping to do Fall/Winter!
