Today I made Plum butter, fruit leather and tried my hand at plum jelly. All went well except the plum jelly--I fear I cooked it a little too long.
Progress on my new life changing journey has brought me good forturn. I am down three pounds. Every little pound gone is great. I view it as double great because that means I didn't gain that much weight--so in all reality--six pounds down--wish!!!

About Time
Time seems to go so quickly whether you are having fun or just doing the day to day things. For me the reason that I haven't been blogging is two fold: I haven't taken the time and I forgot ,my password. Did I mention that time plays trick on your memory also!
I have retired from teaching and am getting used to having time to do whatever I need to or want to. It is a difficult adjustment for me--I end up wasting a lot of time and not accomplishing much at all. I did better when I had to really plan out my time carefully.
We parked our trailors on our lot in Island Park and have spent a lot of time up there this summer. Not as much as I would like but that will come. It is now time to bring the trailors down and put them up for the winter. I am dreading that--I like the option having someplace to run off too.
My daughter-in-law, Rusty, and grandaughter, Jadin have been with us for the summer. It has been fun getting to know Rusty and playing with a newborn again. I love being a grandparent. For one thing it brings back memories of when my own children were babies and all the frustrations of motherhood. For me I just couldn't relax and enjoy the time. I can now though and boy am I ever.
I have another blog that I am keeping track of my progress on a life changing goal of mine. I have always had problems with weight and I hate to exercise so I am attempting for the millionth time to change all that. This time I hope to be more successful and accomplish being slimmer, physically ship shape and psycologically healthier. The blog is Grannykatholyn or Grannyk--time has done wonders for my memory, can't you tell?
