Hi all. Just a note to catch up.Well we have been busy doing canning. We werent going to do peaches this year but there was so many on the tree across the road where Art and Alberta lived just going to waste so we did 4 dozen.We no sooner got them done when we got the plums.We did 2 dozen of them.Then on monday we put pumpkin in the freezer.Everytime I finish with one thing I say I guess that is it . Then I find something elseto put up for winter.But this time I think it is only if I can find enough green tomato,s to do a batch of mincemeat.I have got only 3 jars on the shelf left.Glen went to the hospital mon. morning for thebone marrow test.It is supposed to tell the Dr. why his blood is so low.He might have to have bloodtransfusion,s.My Arthritis is bad I pain over alot of my body.I have an appointment next week Wed.at a theraphist.I am not going to be able to go down east this fall. I am in to much pain every day.I hope by getting help this winter by spring I will be able to go. The first treatment is $5o . Then $4o for the rest.Ihope I can be helped befor to many.I have been on pain pills sometimes 4 times aday every day since befor I went to Bridgette,s and then sometimes they dont work very good.Oh well we all have our own cross to bear.I am so thankful for my family and friends in my life who show the love for me.So till we talk again. Know that I Love You All.Have a good night. Your MOM,GRAM,GREAT GRAM GLEN GRAMPA, AND FRIEND. HUGS N KISSES XOXOXOXOXO

HI EVERY ONE Yes it is me finaly.We have been sort of busy since we returned home from our trip.Busy with not feeling the best. Glen came home with this Virtigo again.And me with my back and hip badly paining.This week we had to do things whether or not.Monday we put corn down in the freezer, Tuesday we canned pears,Today we bread. I think tomorrow we will put zuccini in the freezer for good zuccini loaves in the winter.We will can plums when they are ready. I asked Glen today if we should get abit more corn to put down it sure beats the stuff you get in the cans and is better for you.I have always enjoyed putting things together for winter and it is nice to have a variety.We dont have a place to keep vegies much past xmas so we do the best we can. We didnt put as much in the garden this summer so as not to waste.We have given alot of cucks away this year but not as many carrots and beets we used the space for other things.Well that is our life so far this weekNip and Ivy was down last week and brought some tomatoes ours are not rippening for canning. so we got them canned alsoThey brought a watermelon,a pepper and 2 cantelope to in exchange for peaches.We are getting peaches from accross the street at Arts nobody is living there now as Art and Roberta has gone to a home..The peaches are small but the price is right. There was nobody there to water and spray them this year.I better go for nowWe are having good hot weather yet.It was 45 cel. in the porch yesterday with the sun shining on it.This is the first year the heat has chased me inside to abit of air cond. So till we talk again Love TO ALL.Your Mom, Gram, Great Gram , Friend. Glen, Grampa.

HI Everyone Bridgette I just read the e mail on the Flour sack I got something to add to it . There were summer under pants for girls and I remember my friend Dorothy;s her mother dyed them brown of all colors. lolGlen just said he had under shorts made from the same material. You know. I have seen all of those things that this lady said was made. Oh what a memory. They sure was useful. Now for some daily news . In the life of Marrians Quest. This week Mon. I vacumed out my little Lady:van: then Glen & I built a bed for mei in it.Tues.we drove up another mountain road and took in the sight,s of the Goat Cheese Place.We only tasted about 4 kinds of cheese. Glen was not impressed at all but I like it . I used to buy it at the store befor he came in the picture. It can be quite expensive but I would get some sometimes.They make ever so many kinds of cheeses& other things also. Even ice cream.I would of liked to taste it but Glen said it cost to much.Guess I should take Bruno up there . LOL Wed. we made bread did laundry picked peas and shelled them among little things.Thurs.I wased out my van and found sheets to fit the bed and just did little things.Today ;Fri.we went and found the info. place at Summerland And found out where theOld Train still runs from so they called for reservations for us for the 1:30 ride.WE had a little time s0 we shopped abitthen had lunch at McDonald;s.We proceeded on to the train station and found it. We had abit of a wait befor boarding.We were in the last open air car whitch was great because it was up in the 30s and the breeze felt good.My but some of those tracks is sooooo close to the edgeyou sucked your breath in thinking it would help hold it on the tracks.It was a good trip but not exactly what I thought it would be.On some runs they have robers riding out of the bushes and holding up the train you then give them your change they ride off . The change is turned over for the needy.Then they have other special runs whichcost considerable more. I think some are around 50$. Our run was $20 plus tax each seniors discount.All in all we have had a pretty good day but tireing so till we talk again Lots of LOVE to all Your Mom, Gram,Great Gram, Friend. Have a good night LUV YA
