Getting things done!

It's the pictures of our family that get me through the gloomy days of winter!






It's a gray and snowy day here at home! I have an Andy Williams Christmas album playing on the stereo and soup cooking in the crockpot! 

I have finished the triplets baby quilts and need to attach the binding to Harpers and then hand finish it and it too will be done! I am working on a little jumper I started a while ago. Not sure who it will fit but I think I started it a while back for Auburn and now I believe it will go to one of the younger grand girls.  That's what happens when I put a project away thinking I'll get back to it soon! 

I am trying to think of ways to fill up our empty quart jars. I may can some of our garden potatoes and I think there's still some carrots in the basement fridge. I have also found some recipes for jarred cake mixes to keep on the shelf instead of buying boxed cake mixes. I'm going to try a couple of them and see if they're worth putting together. Every time I see an empty canning jar it makes me anxious! LOL!

I am worried about how much food prices are going up. We went to Costco this past Saturday and a bag of mini peppers were double what they used to be. I have paid about $3.49 for a 3 lb. bag and they were asking over $7.00! That's crazy. I am very grateful for the food we have stored!

I hope you all have a great week full of family and friends and strong faith!

All of us in the house on Jefferson street!

I wanted to share these photos of my siblings and I in happier days!
