Had fun canning beans today. My canner wouldn't seal with pressure so I tried again and again. Finially I called My friend Marti Morris and she helped me get them going with her canner. Hours later I finailly have them done. How much can one person do in a day? I baked a cake for a funeral. I helped a friend tend for a little while and then did consessions at the horse show for a couple of hours. I had the kids break up the green beans then I tried to can them. Don't forget dinner and I have done 3 loads of dishes. baked 2 loaves of chocolate Zucchini Bread and now It is time for Bed!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! What a day!
