to all of you today. I am finishing my packing today and we will go ahead an pack the van too. We have to get up very early and get on the road to my sister's tomorrow and I figure the less we have to do the better it will be. From her house we will get in her car and she will drive on to KY.

My DGS will probably sleep all the way to my sisters and I will probably sleep after she is driving. I have always been one to sleep on a driving trip.

I have a lot to do today as our garden is producing cucumbers very rapidly and DGS and I will make another batch of bread and butter pickles this morning. I have a recipe for doing them in the microwave and then they are kept in the fridge. I have a spare fridge and have lots of room for storage of them.

I will can some dills when I get back home and they can stay on the shelf.Do you all do any canning at all or did you ever?

I will try to check in later and hope when I do I will see that you all have kept your smiles on today. Hugs..Becky :-)

huh? Didn't you just get BACK from a trip? Can't keep up with you Becky! LOL!

I used to can, now I just freeze, mainly green bean and spaghetti sauce. Canning is TOO much work!

Have a great trip!

Hugs, Darby

I have never done any jarring or canning in my life. I mention "jarring" as that is what my grandmother used to call it, and she had such a big garden and jarred everything. However my dear Becky, it seems that you don't miss a beat in this busy life, and I wish you a good trip--travel safe, and catch up on your sleep while traveling!!! (I also like to doze off in the car). Hugs. Bea

I'm too busy watching the driver...there is no way I could sleep while on a car trip! I like to do the driving, but DH drives the van, which we usually take. I'm not a good passenger:o(

Your bread & butter pickles sounds so good & like something I would attempt. When you have time will you post the instructions, please?

Have a fun trip...we'll miss you...be safe! Cal
