We had a busy day in the kitchen!  Today, I made homemade Woopie Pies with Kala. 

I also made the homemade tomato soup that I hope to can.  This is our taste testing night.  If everyone agrees, then this is what we will do with our tomatoes.  If not, I'll come up with something else.  Keep your fingers crossed!

Well, I didn't like the tomato soup.  So, I made tomato pure with the diced tomatoes.  Since this post, I have made the pure, 40 quart jars of peaches (plus 22 for my friends who helped me can them), 4 pints of peach jam, and 8 pints of blackberry jam.  Pears are next.  I hope to get 20 quarts. 

We also put up a volleyball net in the back yard and all of the neighbors have been coming over in the evening to play.  It's too much fun!  Talk about olympic fever! 

Tomorrow, we are going to the Dr. for Luke's 13 year old check up!  Yes, Luke turned 13 on August 14th.  We went mini golfing and hung out together and had lots of fun!  After the Dr's. we are going to my mom's house to go swimming!  I am trying to "cram" as much summer into these few short days that we have been healthy!

Blessings, Kelly
