old mother hubbard

  I'll bet that if Old Mother Hubbard went to this cupboard and didn't find any food, she'd be ok.

She could just ooh and ahh over this delicious beauty and it would fill her soul.

beans, beans the magical fruit--bottling beans

I've been on a BIY (Bottle It Yourself) binge today. But since I made bread today too, I guess maybe it should be MIY?  I dunno.  I just know that today I had the energy to make bread, bottle jelly and jam and bottle dry beans.  It all started with not having jam or jelly, but having all the ingredients to make it and having this renewed desire to be more self sufficient and self reliant.

i heart my boy

(He loves her music and who she wrote this about.)

I'm pretty sure my boy would be embarrassed if he knew I was writing about him, but if he doesn't see this until he's 21, I think it'll be ok. 


My boy has/had SVT.  Supraventricular Tachycardia.  It runs in my family.  From my dads side.  Just like color blindness.  He has that too.

So my boy has been through two ablation procedures.  We have his follow up appointment for his last procedure yet to schedule--they should be calling me today--and we get to see how this last one worked or not.
