Happy Birthday to Kade
These cakes are for Kade birthday party with the family on Sunday. I like to make them for the grandkids now. I learned how to do this about 37 years ago.

Jim on his tractor

Jim at the burn pit getting rid of the old burn barrow.
The big round burn barrow is all rusted out.



It was a nice fall day. Jim decided to do some tractor work. . He than disk up the back acre. He took the hay that I used for Halloween and disk it in the garden where I grow the pumpkins. The place now is all ready for winter.


I finished making pear/raspberry jam. I am now all done with the canning and jam making. I also put up the Christmas lights on my Mother's house and our house. I know it is a little early but it was a nice day.

Food Storage

How is your food storage?
The first two weeks in October is case lot sales here. Well, I purchased what I need and came home and put away the can goods. I could not put away the sugar or flour. I to find empty buckets to put the sugar and flour in. I found enough buckets to put the sugar in but not the flour. The flour set behind a couch in the living room. The stores were out of buckets. I finally got the buckets and put the flour in them. As you see. I did not get enough buckets so back to the store.

The red lid you see is called the Gamma Seal lid. It comes in two pieces and is easy to use. You just spin off the removable inside and then spin it back on.

Potato Bag

This is a simple bag that creates a "just right" potato in your microwave. I am making them to give as Christmas present. I have to start early. They were a big hit last Christmas. I had friend came over tonight and I showed her how to make them. They are very simple to make.

Future Chefs

One of the things that I like to do is sew. So, this past month of October I made the grandchildren aprons. I made a total of 7 aprons. Here are Delora's two girls showing off the aprons.
