  • Our Weekend~

    Wednesday I went to Harvey's for groceries. Every Wed. they have specials that are good that day only. One of the specials was 10-12 lb. bags of green peanuts for $.99 a lb.!! I had been wanting to find some, to can boiled peanuts and was thrilled to find this deal! So I bought around 22 lb.. We cooked up a batch that evening for snack time after working outside trimming shrubs and other work.
     Then Thursday Yolie came over and brought her pressure canner and we canned 21 qt. of boiled peanuts and I froze about 10 qt.

    Lunch time... Pizza, veggies and dip, jello salad and cookies

    The finished result. We haven't tried any yet, to see if we did it right, but since Yolie has done this before, I am not too concerned!!

    Friday morning was our homeschool groups Back to School celebration. We went bowling at Kindell Lanes. It was only $1 for shoe rentals and the group funds paid for the games!! We had great fun!!

    We didn't move everything. Since they will be living next door to her parents, where all their stuff is stored, they will move the rest little by little as they have time and are ready for it. We mostly moved the big furniture and things they needed to start living there.

     This afternoon I am going to see the Dr. to see if they can help me determine a reason that my heart is skipping beats so often. It has been doing it for almost 2 weeks now. I've had it happen quite a bit over the years, but never this often for such a long period. Your prayers would be appreciated!

  • I've never had boiled peanuts!  Are they soft after being in that liquid?   After all that activity my heart would be skipping beats too!!  Seriously, I will keep you in prayer as you see the doctor and trust that there is nothing major wrong with your heart.

  • I love boiled peanuts but I never knew you could can or freeze them, but why not?

  • so how do you can your peanuts? never tried it, sounds good.  let us know how you appointment goes, be praying for you
