Busy week

Very busy week, Its feast or famine around here. L to R: 6 pts. Bread and Butter pickles, 6pts. Blackberry/Plum jam, and 6qts. Garlic Dill Pickles.

Im slowly trying to catch up on stuff I havent been able to do for months....being sick and then being away totally thru me off. So between cleaning and real life, I did manage to get some canning in. But this week Ive been running alot. 

Had breakfast with friends at the local casino. Had to get my Senior card but it was worth it. $2 for a breakfast buffet ........I had Eggs Benedict and hash browns and more with a huge OJ. And I got $5 to play which I promptly lost lol. But it was fun. And Ill be 60 next month........the girl who did my card said ......well you have been very blessed because you dont look anywhere near that age. :)  And then later on after I left there I snuck in some canning and then had coffee with gfs in the afternoon. 

The other day I went with a friend to her Dr. appt. .......long drive to Portland but I got to ride the tram that Ive only seen there on my way to other things. It was awesome and I wished I had my camera. But it looked just like this photo I found online.

 That's Mt. Hood in the background there. Too cloudy that day to see Mt. St. Helens or Mt. Rainier. But it still was fun. And we wandered to the farm stands on the way home to see what they had and price things. Its still a bit early out here on the coast to find much or any deals. But I did get some flyers with phone numbers. Ill just call before I go next time. In between Ive been trying to shop , clean , garden and do laundry (today). This week has just flown by!
