- Irish Woman has been canning. So far, we have apple sauce, apple-bourbon pie jam, baked apples, strawberry jam, cherry-lime jam, pineapple jam, mandarin-pineapple jam, peach jam, cherries, fruit cocktail, peaches, pineapple,and pickles.
- Come the apocalypse, I’m going to be OK when it comes to vitamins and electrolytes. Just need to stock up on more peanut butter.
- Went to the woods this weekend to help with the Boy Scouts. The Young Prince is putting the finishing touches on getting his Life scout rank, and I think teaching knife safety this weekend was the last thing he needed. Now for Eagle.
- Not sure why, but I always sleep better in a tent on a cot than I ever do in a real bed.
- Had some time yesterday at camp, and decided to try my hand at something I haven’t done since I was in Scouts myself – lashing. Put together a nice little side table for the campfire out of twigs and bailing twine. Yeah, it wobbles a bit, but not bad for the first time in 40 years.
- Broke down and bought myself a hammock the other week. There’s just something nice about being suspended between heaven and earth, letting the breeze gently rock you back and forth, feeling all relaxed until the dog launches herself at you and lands on your sternum.
- I’ll be going under the knife again this week. This time, the arthritis has caused several toes on each foot to do things not covered under the manufacturers warrantee. Doctor Bonesaw will be removing a knuckle on each of three toes on both feet.
- Recovery is 4 to 6 weeks, which is just enough time for me to get into the Halloween spirit as a bear with two sore feet.
