Why this blog...

I am the mother of the three most talented, intelligent and beautiful children ever to live on this earth. I am also privileged to be married to the most wonderful man! He has added three additional talented, intelligent and beautiful children to our family! I have a job that I mostly love, a wonderful education, a beautiful home, marvelous family, and I have the privilege of belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been greatly blessed in my life, but I sometimes forget that. So, I decided to create this blog as a way to remind myself of all the many blessings and miracles that surround me. (I'm also terrible at keeping a journal- so this will be something for my kids to enjoy as well.)

I hope you enjoy what you read. I would love to hear what you think!

Broken Pressure Canner = Blessing

 

 

Pulled the rest of my tomatoes from the freezer to process a couple of weeks ago to make some more "chili juice" and pizza sauce... only to have my pressure canner break!!!


Luckily, I can water bath can the tomato products - so I did.

BUT I cannot water bath can turkey or bone broth! So into the freezer went all the turkey products this weekend...

one small little bend

Who knew that such a small part could make such a large difference - Presto is, however, fixing it for free!

It will just be four to six weeks...

Then I realized what a blessing it was this past week to NOT have a working canner - Sure I had the pressure of finding room in the freezer for the turkey, etc., but I also had more time to enjoy "Black Shopping" with Jon, more time to get organized for Thanksgiving and plan for the upcoming Christmas season (neighbor gifts done!), more time to enjoy phone calls and in person visits - just more time to truly enjoy all of the many people who bless my life!

Blessings abound when I know where to look!
