Jam Packed Weekend

Well, I survived the garage sale that we had this weekend and I am truthfully pooped out.  Garage sales are a lot of work, and everything seems turned upside down for the entire time you are working on it.  Both of the boys were total crabby pants because they didn’t get a lot of the attention they are used to.  MY house looks like a bomb went off in it.  *Note the toy room* (I apologize for the crappy quality, this was taken with my little farty camera)

As you can see, the place is a disaster, and not how I like to keep house.  I just look at it and I don’t care  HA! My house will take a week to get back to normal, but on a positive note we made about $500, so not too shabby.   I plan on having another sale this Fall, and at least everything is ready to go and priced so I don’t have to suffer through that!

After all that, I still had energy to go Strawberry picking this morning.  I already went last week, and made 9 half pints of freezer jam and decided I wanted to make more.  The first place we went to, was horrible for brining toddlers and they made  us stick to one row with horrible berries.  This new place, was awesome!  They had berries as far as the eye could see and I went alone and had the field practically to myself.  When I was leaving with my 10lbs of berries, there were about 60 people.  I will be making this a tradition, because I can remember when my grandmother used to make jam all the time.  In August, they have peaches!  I love being outdoors and being out in the country.
