I have  been  busy lately.  This is the time of the year when i am busy with freezing and canning.  I had my little helper help me with the beans but she passed on helping with the tomatoes.   She did not seem to like them at all.

I not only froze them, I cooked the sauce down and made my spaghetti sauce.  That will be great when I have spaghetti this winter and just have to take it out of the freezer.  I have also been baking zucchini bread for this winter.  I think I have about fifteen loaves froze for this winter  and will have another four or five tomorrow.

I am also working on my Steeler quilt.   I will show you a pic of it so far....   It is a bit blurry but I think you can get the general idea of what the squares look like. Not sure if I showed this in here before or not and too tired to check at this time.  It has been very hot here and it is nice to stay in and do this rather then go out in the  blistering sun.  We have the a/c on and i am thankful for it.

We had a lovely reunion this week.  Not near as many were here as at the last one but it seems that so many things were going on at the same time our reunion was.  We had thirty seven there and we normally have over 70.  But it was still nice and we all had fun.
