    Lita- you totally amaze me!! Haven’t been on the threads too much. So much going on. We have to go to the cancer center every day as when they removed hubbys prostate they didn’t get it all so he’s done three weeks of seven of radiation. Our garden did amazingly well so I’ve been canning a lot . Put up 66 jars of beans. I could do more but have now moved on to tomatoes , salsa and pickles. Did do one batch of blueberry jam. I’ll be glad when I’m done. So much work and time consuming. I have some baking competitions coming up next week.

    I hope everyone is getting some fun before summer is over.

    How fun, Diana!

    I haven't canned in years. Used to do beans and strawberry jam from my strawberry patch. Thanks to CA drought, can't water as much, so no more berry patch.

    Lita: How are you doing? This is my favorite thread. You never cease to amaze me! I just had the fun of toilet training my DGS. It is so fun when they make the connection. Is that what God is doing to me now...lol!. We are so lucky to be going through this together.

    It's been a really crappy weekend, but this snapshot brought a smile to my face.

    Martha Stewart's new Chow pups: Empress Chin to the left and Emperor Han to the right.

    Adorable faces!

    Lita, did you finished embroidered pillow case #1? Have you started #2?

    I'm going to look for my grandmother's embroider pillow cases the next time I'm at my parent's house.

    Yes, both are finished, Madelyn!

    One has spring butterflies, and the other has autumn butterflies.

    I'm kind of pooped today - 2nd day after chemo - after the steroid pre-meds have worn off usually tires me out. I will take pics tomorrow (Sat) and upload them. It'll be interesting to see what "the favorite" is. I'm not saying mineWinking.

    It's a good thing I finished them. My eyes are REALLY starting to act up again :o[.

    Lita those are gorgeous!!

    It's like children, we love our children equally, but differently.

    My favorite colors are blue, plus pink and purple. I like the spring one slightly more than the autumn for the colors. 

    Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Lita, I hope that your back pain is better today. I'm sure you are doing everything possible to help it.

    I just wanted to say how much I love those pillowcases! They are gorgeous! I do like the spring the best, but only because I love the color blue! Every time I feel lazy about dinner, I remind myself that you are still cooking and baking tasty dishes for your family. We smoked a pork butt on Saturday and I made roasted sweet potatoes with honey, yum! A friend made vegan broccoli salad that was tasty also! Of course we had lots of appetizers and a key lime pie for dessert. I can't take credit for those as they came from Publix. Tonight I thought I would make a burrito bowl, with the pork and potatoes, add in some black beans and cilantro and shredded Mexican cheese, with fresh salsa and sour cream on the side. I am on the fence about adding rice to it. Anyway, thought I would share that with you.

    I'm missing your Lita charm and awesome sense of humor! I send special prayers for you everyday and will continue to do so.

    Hugs and prayers,

    Claudia
