Jelly and Lunch

Michael woke up a little on the glum side this morning and working on the motor home did not improve his disposition! Now the power steering and hydraulic pump is leaking. By the time I got back from town, though, he had the pump off, our local parts store has the gasket and his mood was much better.

I started the morning out making chokecherry jelly getting another 11 half pints. Then I cooked a batch of Judy's Carmel Apple Jam, can't wait to try it in the morning, it smelled delicious while cooking.

I also made a trip into town to take Jeane a couple of coolers so she can transport cold stuff to ID for her son's wedding this weekend. We had lunch at the Grand and a good chat. We wish Reed, Hilary and Hilary's twin daughters the very best as they start a new life together.

Our hops has grown by leaps and bounds this summer--now we need to figure out how to make beer!

The poor broke Explorer--that was one big deer we hit going 70mph!

My jelly and jam.

My camera came back home today and the thread I ordered last Friday also arrived--now I can get started on that bear quilt.
