I never got my canning done in time for Christmas but now am done!  Sunday Tom and Roxanne are coming here for lunch and then taking us to the Play at the local Play House to see the play “Wrong Window”.  That was our Christmas present from them.  We have always given them a case of our home made spaghetti sauce but with the move here in Aug we didn’t get that done before we moved but now we have them done.  We finished four cases of quarts tomato sauce for the kids and 36 pints for us plus this week we got a bushel of green beans canned.  Becca likes the green beans and so do we.  Monday I went to the Easy street farmer’s market and ordered a bushel of green beans and Tuesday and Wednesday we got them all cut and canned.  We put them up in pints and got 41 pints.  I love that market, their prices are so good and they go out of their way to get you what you need at a good price.  I always get my grapefruit there 10 for one dollar and I always get my blueberries there also.  The blueberries have been any where from $3.00 a pint, then down to 2 pints for $5.00 and last week they were $2.00 a pint.  Monday when I ordered my beans I got 4 pints of the blueberries for $10 and froze half of them.  Tuesday they had a new shipment in and they were .99 cents a pint so I got 6 more pints to freeze and save a pint for Patty.  She was thrilled and said she would like some more and so did I so Thursday I went back and they still had some ( I can’t see why they were not all snatched up) so I got 14 more pints.  I saved out two pints for us for our oatmeal this week and 2 pints for Patty and all the rest are frozen for when the season is over.  Norman takes blueberries every  day for his eyes.  They really work and have saved his eye sight, even the doctors agree they are better than the pills.  I take them also and now Patty does too.  I also have the dried blueberries each day just to make sure I can have blueberries every day all year round.  My blueberries that I am growing on my patio, are coming along great and I should have quite a few when these from Chile are done.  Everyone should plant some blueberry bushes.  Now I need to get cooking for the week end.  Patty and Becca will be here for dinner on Saturday and Tom and Roxanne on Sunday.  We will have sandwiches.  Everyone will make their own so I need to cook and slice roast beef, corned beef and ham.  I have the sauerkraut and cheese.  I have gluten free bread here for Patty and me but today I need to bake a rye bread and a whole wheat bread for the sandwiches.  It will be a fun week end,  Have a great day.
