Updating here.....

The last Microsoft update corrupted my computer. I had to format the thing all over again. Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. I am still trying to get some things straightened out.
Stay tuned...................
thank you kindly

Canning season is upon us once again. I didn't know whether we would be here for that this year or not so I didn't prepare for it.  The house project went a lot slower than planned so here we still are.

My sister-in-law has been doing a lot of canning this year as usual. I went with her on a few trips to the Amish for fresh veggies. I honestly don't even know where my "canner" is at so I asked Minnie if we could do them at her place. She has the perfect set up for it. She loves to can so she told me to go home and come back later. The following pictures are of her getting the tomatoes ready for canning and the finished product. (22 pints)

I just wanted to share this photo with you. This is an old wicker love seat that my mother-n-law had. Considering how old it is I think it is in really good shape. The lady that bought it (along with the two matching chairs) thought so too. She had someone all lined up to redo the cushions. 

The main reason I wanted to show you this is because of the linoleum floor under the love seat. I bet you have never seen anything like it before.

Labor Day

I don't know about you but my hubby has a 4 day weekend coming up. Unfortunately we will probably be spending it taking the rest of the things out of my mother-n-laws house so the realtor can finally take over. With September upon us now I am expecting folks to find a place to burrow in for the winter. Cross your fingers this place gets sold soon. This picture was taken right before the realtor was called. (That's hubby in the picture)

As I said in an earlier blog, I am sanding down an antique chair and repainting it. When the finished product is ready I will show you the before and after picture.

Happy Labor Day!!

I just have to share this photo. It brought tears to me when I saw it. My mother has dementia so she will never remember this moment but she was able to hold her great granddaughter Abbie. This picture was taken on Abbie's 3 month old birthday 8-25-16.
I love this picture!

Sleep Apnea:

Are you tired when you get up in the morning? Maybe you are not getting the right amount of oxygen as you sleep. My hubby recently was sent a sleep apnea tester. He had to hook up to this machine for three consecutive nights. If the light on the machine stayed green, it means he passed that nights test. When the machine came, it all was packaged in separate little compartments that you had to connect together.

Each cord goes to certain places on your body and the whole thing then connects to a square box on your wrist on one end and the tester box on the other.

Okay...so here he is hooked up and ready to start the machine:

I hope you can see on the machine where they check the three connections out before it starts. One is for the oxygen tube running to your nose, the second is a tube running around your chest and the third is for your pulse on your finger. Once everything checks out, you push the start button. The machine will tell you it is on and the last thing it says to you is "Good night." 
When you wake up the next morning you shut it off and unhook yourself.

The machine has to go back within 15 days of getting it or else you are charged $1500.00. Needless to say, I shipped it back this morning.

Now we wait for it to be analyzed and the doctors report.

This is one of the tables that was at my mother in laws home that we kept. By the way, I am still cleaning out the place. The down stairs is almost complete now. I got a hold of a fire victim for some of the furniture. They were replacing one of the logs on her home and somehow that's how the fire started. The place was burned down to the ground. Thankfully she and her family survived along with her pet.
