• 50 Questions,  Hey. Hi. Hello.

    whoops

    So much for a question a day! I do not have the app on my phone. I have removed most social media apps from my phone in an attempt to spend less time wasting time. So, the next three question of the 50 Personal History questions are as follows: Question 2 is, “Where, and when were you born?” Well, early June of 1973. I was born in a small coastal town on Cape Cod that starts with an F. I will leave it at that. Too much personal info is not a good thing these days. I know that I was born at 5:35 p.m. by emergency c-section (sorry mom)…

    Personal History – 50 Questions

    I found this on Pinterest, and decided that I would do it. 😉 It is 50 questions about yours truly. I am going to answer one question a day. The first question is, “Your name.. where does it come from? What does it mean?” Wellllll… *eyeroll* I was almost named Rebecca. Then, my mom wanted to name me Jenna. Not sure what happened, but Jennifer it is. Along with like 70% of all the other girls born in the early 70s! I actually had a friend growing up who knew a bunch of guys who started a band called, “Too Many Jens” !! I was called Jenni by my folks…

    Beautiful Day

    I had tomatoes to can. I had floors that needed swept. I had laundry to do. It will still all be there tomorrow. Today, I sat on the porch and worked on a puzzle that my friend let me borrow. Hubby spent a good bit of time out there with me. It was a really nice day. I DID clean my kitchen, and make a yummy dinner. I also folded a load of clothes. The rest can wait. The next two days will be a flurry of activity, as I have to finish canning my tomatoes and get the downstairs spic and span. My offspring turns 16 on Tuesday. On…

    Time Well Spent

    Spent the other morning snapping beans with my mom on the front porch. We were all set to can these things, when we realized we had lost the weights for the pressure canner. So, they are in the fridge. Tomorrow I buy a new pressure canner so we can get these things done. I am also getting a half bushel of tomatoes to can as well. We also have peaches to can! I love doing this stuff with her, and putting things up for winter.

    Live and Learn

    We all love Hamburger Helper type meals. However, we really try not to eat too much processed stuff. The last time I made a box of that stuff, I spent 2 days in the bathroom.. so… yeah, we just don’t go there any more. I do not think we have had a box of that in almost 13 years. Every now and then, I make my own version. The other night, none of us could decide on what to eat. Hubby suggested that I make one of my home made helper-type meals. With everyone in agreement, I thawed out some boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced up a large onion, and…
