Whirlwind...

That's what this last week has been for me... It was the kids official first week of school back... That was really nice... Quiet times for me and Jade to bond.. Got to spend some time with my sister too before her baby came... We decided to take the bullet and go for it with Salsa... We wanted to get it all done before baby came... So we started to mentally prepare for it Wednesday... Thursday went for tomatoes, peppers, onions, cilantro, salt, garlic and tomato paste.... We Salsaed for 3 days straight... I did all the cutting of peppers, onions, cilantro; whit and mom skinned and peeled tomatoes and we all sampled it... A LOT!!! Its always fun to do a salsa party.. We ended up doing over 200 bottles.... Mostly quarts, some pints... Troy did some pepper rings in a brine bath too... WHEW!!!! So happy to have that over, and about the time we finished cleaning up the mess, Nancy went into labor.... So it was off to the hospital with Nancy Saturday night, and I returned home Sunday night.... Long time labor, ending with a C-section.. BUT she did get something amazing out of it.... Too be continued...
