THIS IS IT !!!

Love the Michael Jackson documentary.  Such a genius. Such a waste that he is gone.

Snow, you are pretty but I wish you'd go away

Will this cold weather ever end?  It is torture for this warm weather girl.

I want this decor, especially the nite lite built into the headboard.

50th Birthday Vacation

Some vacations inspire you.  I wanted to redo my entire house to look like this hotel room in Cozumel, Mexico.  I'm CRAZY about that lighted headboard ! I'm crazy about that man on the couch too.

Guitarists

Taking a break from canning "maters" I switched on the TV.  The show that was already on when I powered up the satellite was about Jimmy Page, Edge, and Jack White (StarzHD).

I am ALWAYS hooked when I see any Rock documentary.  I would describe how great the show was but I can't because I'm speechless.  Except to say "I got goosebumps"

Thanks to all the wonderful musicians out there who give us goosebumps.  I believe it is truly God delivering beauty to us on earth. 

Eggplant and Figs

I'll start with the figs. On the way to letting the dogs out for the day I passed our fig tree full of ripe figs.  Being a southern woman I am genetically unable to pass any ripe fruit or vegetable without feeling guilty.  They must be pickled, frozen, canned or "jammed".  I chose to jam. 

Yesterday I spent hours breading, frying and freezing eggplant slices.  They'll make yummy Eggplant Parmesan this winter.

Tuesday was a day for tomato canning and corn freezing.  I have a humble respect for those women of the old days who had to put food up or starve.  I do know that it is a privilege and a blessing to have such an abundance of food. 

Preserving your on food in these times is more of a luxury than necessity.

My last two weeks have been a frenzy of canning, freezing, pickling and "jamming".  Hmmmmm, I'll be glad when Pirate Football Season gets here...... I need a BREAK!!
