The Dreaded Day

Well the day is fast approaching. David has taken a job in Sacramento Ca. This is a job he really couldn't pass up, however, we do wish it were closer to home. I will be driving to California with him on Wednesday. I will help him set up his Studio apartment and then return home on Sunday. This is one of those things that no family wants to face, separating the family for a job. It has been a long few months with David going to Conn. to work for 3 months and now he is only home for 3 days and leaving for Ca. The kids really miss their dad when he is gone. We are already looking forward to having him home for Thanksgiving. Please pray for us as we set out on this new adventure. If all goes well with the job we will move our family to California summer of 2009. Please keep us in your prayers.

Harvest Time

Apple Butter, Grape Jelly and Pear Preserves all from my yard and my friend Tanya's yard.

It has been great this season to enjoy the fruits of the neighborhood. Between my vines and neighbor's trees I have been able to can 21 jars of grape jelly and 4 jars of pears preserves and 18 pints of Applebutter. Now it is time for pumpkins and gourds. The leaves are starting to turn I need to get out and take photos of the beautiful foliage.
