Here, chicken chicken chicken...

This week I entered the wonderful world of pressure canning. Luckily, I have good friends who answer all my questions. I even have one friend who came over to my house and showed me what to do. I am not afraid of the pressure canner anymore, and it only sat unopened in its box for one year. I now have 12 jars of chicken in my food storage. Next...ground beef!

Those aren't mine

Last night Samantha was brushing her teeth, only she decided to bring her toothbursh and toothpaste into our bathroom. When she was finished, she left them both on our bathroom counter. So, I said "Samantha, please put your toothbrush and toothpaste away in your bathroom" Samantha: "Those aren't mine". Me: "What? Isn't that your toothbrush?" Samantha: "No, it's Maranda's" Me (while laughing with Dan): "Well you have to put them away anyway"

My first tag:

Ok, I'm not sure how this works but I was tagged by my sister, Sherry. (by the way, don't ever do that again, I don't like being put on the spot) The question is: are you a procrastinator?
Of course the answer is yes, but I think I just put off things that I don't want to do anyway or else they aren't very high on my list of priorities. High priorities include: laundry, feeding everyone, fun craft projects and good books. Low priorities include: mopping the kitchen, dusting, paying bills and organizing the pantry. There always seems to be time for activities I want to do, whereas I seem to be too busy for activities such as preparing a Sunday lesson, where does all the time go? Of course it all has to get done eventually, the unfun stuff just gets done later.

I don't know who reads this blog regularly but hopefully my three blogging brothers will check here sometime so I will tag: Jacob, Spencer and Clark.

Maranda started softball

Maranda just started playing softball. She has a nack for it, so it should be fun for her.

She missed this pitch...but look at that follow-through!

Flattery

Jannalee and I were just at the grocery store. A man, who looked to be in his 70's, walked up to Jannalee (when I was on another isle), and said "Sorry for staring at you, but you look exactly like one of one of my ex-wives." We're assuming it was a complement.

Easter

We returned from the Exodus about 3:00 pm on Saturday before Easter. We were exhausted, but we were able to have a little Easter egg hunt that night. On Sunday afternoon, we dyed some eggs and had egg salad sandwiches for dinner. It was fun.

Why did the woman cross the road?

This joke is dedicated to Jeff Rock (who shared many funny jokes with us on the Exodus).

(In case you couldn't hear.
Dan: "Why did the woman cross the road?"
Jan: "Who cares? She should be in the kitchen.")
