This week has been very full of activity. On Monday, MamaNona and I made 20 pints of salsa. On Tuesday, we did 6 quarts of spaghetti sauce. It took me about a day and half to recover, and today, Pamela showed up with a box of pears and a box of plums. So this afternoon, we did 27 pints of sliced pears...and I'll be working on plum butter tomorrow afternoon.
Mateo got to go to pre-school at Benedictine on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Then he had his first ever O'Fest sausage on a stick on Thursday night. Thursday night is when the locals go (WAY LESS PEOPLE), and the rain held out until we were loading up to come home. MamaNona is a big fan of the Onion Blossom and Strawberry Shortcake for dessert (my preference is deep fried Oreos with ice cream and chocolate sauce)!!
Matt has been busy putting a skirt on the deck to match our original siding, putting plywood in MamaNona's rafters to make storage in her garage, and tonight he is at the parish O'Fest booth selling sausages (in a bun or on a stick).
I got a beautiful Iris bouquet from my friends on the board of the local branch of the PMI (Project Management Institute). It was nice to be remembered by them and it motivated me to work on PMI stuff. I have even been learning how to do web pages the real way (not the blogger easy as pie way!!)
Tomorrow I am off to an adoption class to learn how to do a lifestory book for Mateo when he gets bigger. Then on Sunday, we will go to Portland for a potluck with other families who have adopted through the same agency as us.
Then next week, it will be time for resting...let us know what's new in your world.
Hugs from Oregon, the Millers
