I made 22 pints of raspberry jam tonight. I had to clean the freezer out so Franny can sell it at the auction. Franny said, "just think, this will probably be the last time you make jam." It kind of made me sad.
It won't be the last time I make jam though, but it will be in this house. I dug up some of the raspberry bushes and planted them at my new house. In a few years there will be lots of bushes, and I will again make jam.
We took a truckload of junk to Samuel's Recycling today. $12.65 for a whole load of crap. There is about another 20 truckloads of crap to go, and that is not even counting all the tires that Franny has. You have to pay to get rid of tires these days, and Franny's collection will cost quite a sum.
It rained for about 5 minutes tonight, I didn't get outside soon enough to dance. Perhaps it rained enough to fill our rain barrels so I can wash my hair in rainwater though. Perhaps.
I'm leaving for Missouri on Thursday to help Joe finish moving. He's bringing his sailboat. I doubt I will have time to play on the lakes before it's too cold to sail. Oh well, I intend to take a nice vacation this Fall before I need to find full time work again. But I only plan to work until I save enough to travel somewhere, and take time off again.
Something is coming. I can't brace myself for any more pain, yet still, I feel something coming......maybe it's just a bad dream.
I keep breaking glass.

Busy, busy with all this moving. Let's hope the something coming is something good. Everyone breaks more glass when they move. I hope.

Jam? I'll bring the toast!
I envy your jam making skills, environment and ability to travel so freely, and I've never been the jealous type.
As long as you don't cut yourself or anyone else, it's okay. Don't you LOVE the sound!?
