Wednesday after meeting

Well, we had another 11 people present which means we had a total of 16 different persons assisting to any of them.
We are ready for our Chili Feed on October 17th. We're hoping 100+ persons.
The Ethel Christian Church gave as the basement to hold the Lunch at no cost: very nice of them.
We had our first unsolicited donation today also. Very good day over all.
We need your prayers though....thank you

Happy Birthday Manon!!!.....Bonne fete Manon!!

We had an excellent trip to Michigan. The weather was beautiful, our visits went great. We found a lot of treasures in garage sales and thrift stores.

Nice to see some friends also while in Grand Heaven.

It was a very nice feeling to see the grand kids. Alex & Tanner are so bright, I better start learning my geography if I want to keep up with both of them. Masin is a speedy Gonzales. here he is, here he is gone.

It was also nice to come back home to our "menagerie". New babies rabbits (12), new baby ducks (5) now all gone. Lots and lots of tomatoes, green peppers and finally bird's gourds.

We did some apple sauce , apple jelly, wild sand plum jelly.

We had a couple a meetings regarding our goal to open a Community Center & Grocery Store. The Amish settlement are enthusiastic about it and can't wait to see it happening.

This coming Wednesday, we have another meeting but this time at the City Hall, we've out grow our house.

2 offers of 2 different houses in great despair of renovations, 4 lots to build a pole barn.................but no founds yet to proceed .

Saturday afternoon we were invited to a Blue Grass jamboree....great time 11 musicians (old timers) with guitars, violins....

And best of all, Nick had accepted to take square dancing classes....Youppie...this coming Thursday night.

As you see, life goes on and we work harder than when we were working ( lol)

Bye for Now and Happy Birthday to Gena!!!

Happy Birthday Veronique!!....Bonne Fete Vero!!

Je te souhaite une belle journee, que tous tes voeux secrets se realisent.
Amour, sante prosperite sont nos voeux pour toi

Caning is almost over...Les conserves sont presque terminees

We have been busy caning green beans, tomatoes, dills pickles,carrots, spaghetti sauce, chili, pears, peaches, rasberry and blackberry jelly, pear jelly, english plum jelly, wild sand plum jelly and jam....etc... Apples will be next.

This morning as I was picking tomatoes the sun came out and it was a beautiful scene. I did take a picture but it doesn't gave credit to the real sunrise. You will see some tomatoes bigger than my hand, with some regular ones.....quite amazing we think.

...........................................................

Nous etions occupes a faire des conserves de haricots verts, tomate, cornichons, carottes, sauce a spaghetti, chili, poires, peches, gelle de framboises et mures, de poires, de prune et aussi de la confiture....Les pommes sont les suivantes..

Ce matin comme je ramassais des tomates le soleil s'est leve et cela etait une scene magnifique. J'ai pris des photos mais cela ne rend pas justice au lever de soleil. Vous verrez des tomates plus grosses que ma main et avec une reguliere....pas mal surprenant .
