Going Domestic

We had a busy Saturday! It started at 10:30 when I attended my ward's Super Saturday. I only signed up for one craft because I knew it would be difficult for me. While there, I went to a candy making class where I ate my weight in chocolate and caramel. The kids and I finished with that by the afternoon and then headed to the Ririe's to deal with a bushel of peaches. My friend, Tiffanie, found a great deal on peaches that made it hard to say no. I have never done any canning except for strawberry jam one summer when I lived in St. George. All I can say for canning is that it takes a long time but I think the payoff can't be beat!

Me, in the apron I made in Mrs. Grow's Home Ec. class in 8th grade, cutting and pitting peaches.
