Peaches! Peaches! and more Peaches!

So Guess what I did Today? You got it PEACHES! I got the kids off to school and then made the journey to Bountiful, so me and my mom could bottle peaches, make freezer jam and cooked jam. I even had to climb a ladder to pick peaches out of the tree. I know I live quite the adventurous life! There is quite a funny story in our family about ladders and picking peaches, sure I'll tell it to you. A couple years before my dad passed away, my mom and him were out attempting to pick peaches. My mom climbed the ladder and my dad was suppose to hold and steady the ladder. Mind you my dad with his alzhiemers (or whatever it was he had) was not all with it, needless to say as my mom and the ladder are tumbling to the ground my dad is just standing there saying oooh oooh Shiree oooh oooh. We laugh hard every time we talk about that . One of the funniest parts about it is watching my mom retell the story! We had a great time today, I love spending time with my mom.

That is awesome. I've decided canning is a lost art, but I love doing it. It's one thing I really miss about living in Utah...all the great produce. We don't really live near any farms, and what I do get, people bring in from 4 hours away. I was lucky to get a couple of boxes of tomatoes this year. (My garden was a bust again!)
