What did you do ALL day??

So my sister calls me Wednesday and says "I bought you 2 bushells of peaches are you so EXCITED??" Well heck yeah I am!!! So then when my husband comes home and asks that all too nasty question I just point to the mountain of peaches and say... THAT!! I must admit I really love to can! I know that is a little crazy... I remember my MOM saying how wonderful it is to look at a counter full of beautifully canned peaches. I take pride in the same thing!! Everytime I put a peach in a jar I think of her telling us to make sure the pretty side of the peach is the only side you see. I canned for 2 days straight and stayed up way too late to get the job done!! I was a little mean to my family, but, don't they know I am only doing this for their own good??? Maybe they will think of me and the hard work I put forth on their behalf when they savor each bite of their canned peaches!! YEAH RIGHT!! At least I have the satisfaction of it all... I canned 28 quarts of peaches, 9 quarts of jam and 5 gallon size bags in the freezer for our Orange Julius on Saturday mornings. Now I want to get my kitchen cleaned... especially the sticky floor and just enjoy until tomatoes. I really want to get brave and do some pickles and some other more intense canning but, that might have to wait until I don't have to take care of a baby and only can when everyone is in bed. Maybe in a few short years she can help me and I can pass on to her what my Mom passed on to me. Thanks Mom for my desire to cook, sew and raise a family!! (did you notice I didn't say clean in there??)
