It's 3:20 in the morning, and I can't sleep. I've got HEART BURN!!!! We canned 19 quarts of tomato juice today. Of course, I had to drink some. (make that a lot!) Boy, am I paying for it now. Oh well, I figured since I was up, I would catch up on my blog. It's been a while since I have posted anything. Busy, very busy.
This last weekend me and Hubby went to my family reunion in Marion Oh. It took us about 3 hours to get there. I slept most of the way, up and back. I figure if I sleep on trips where we have to drive on a busy freeway, our marriage will last longer. lol. I am "professional" back seat driver.(I guess that would be a passanger seat driver.) I am constantly saying,"Watch that car!" or "That light is turning red!" or "Would you pay attention to the road and quit looking at that tractor!" I wouldn't even want me as a passanger.(Although, in all fairness, I have saved us from some wrecks by doing that.) I have got a hole worn out in the floorboard on the passanger side. It's where I am applying "MY break." So to keep Hubby from wringing my neck on "freeway" rides. I either sleep or read. (Thank goodness I don't get sick when I read in the car. That could be a whole other blog. :) )
Anyway, we had a really nice time seeing family and friends that we haven't seen in a long while. But I have a question,when you go to family reunions, why do you sit with the people you see the most through out the year? Shouldn't you mingle with everyone else? Shouldn't you be catching up on what THEY are doing? lol.
Okay, I'm getting off the subject here. Anyway, we had a great time. My dad and his brothers played music and there was a lot of dancing. Of course, it had to be the hottest day of the year. Boy did I get worn out.(although it was okay, I slept on the way home. :) ) We got back home around 8:00 pm that night. Happy to have seen family, and full from some really good food.
Today, me and Hubby canned and canned and canned. We had 4 five gallon buckets full of tomatoes. We would have had more, but it poured the rain and Hubby couldn't get back into the garden to pick more. I, for one, was glad. Canning 19 quarts of tomatoe juice is hard on fat girls. lol. If Hubby hadn't helped me, there was no way I could have done all of that today. We started around 4:30, and quit around 9:00 pm. There was tomatoe pieces and parts everywhere. So, I cleaned up and fixed us something to eat. I told Hubby we were going to have tomato soup to eat. I just got "The Look." (women, you know "the look." lol)
Well, I'm going to go and try to get some sleep. Maybe eat some Tums or something.
So for now.....

Boy, I hope that went away and you got some sleep. Great job on the tomato juice!
That's why I love games at large gatherings, it helps us mingle with everyone and makes it easier to spark up conversations. We do have a tendency to glom together with those we have more to say to.
The dancing sounds fun!

Sounds like you had a fun day! Regarding your "back seat driving" - lol Perhaps some blinders would work or those black things movie stars wear when they sleep!! lol Regarding the reunion, I think we are more comfy we those we know, so we tend to hang out with them. I think it's a universal thing to do that! But fun none the less!! I love reunions!...debbie
We haven't had a reunion in my family in a long time, but hubby's is coming up Labor Day weekend.
I'm so jealous of your tomatoe juice! I don't know what's going on with our tomatoes, but evidently they like the color green better than red!! Although our plants are covered with tomatoes we've only gotten a couple dozen ripe ones so far.
