FOUR GENERATIONS--All with the same name!
Back in early August, we were blessed to have my parents and my grandma visit. Pictured here are four generations of women: Donna Marie, Julie Marie, Kelli Marie, and Meredith Marie. My great-grandma, Ruth Marie, passed away while I was pregnant with Meredith. And, before Ruth Marie was Mable Marie. (I always knew God would bless me with a daughter... he'd have to for me to keep the Marie thing going.)
In September, my mom, sister, and niece came for a weekend of tomato canning. Pictured here are Meredith and Grace (5 months apart).
Jill and I peeled around 150 pounds of tomatoes!
After we peeled the tomatoes, Meema canned them in my hot kitchen. We made probably around 50-60 quarts of stewed tomatoes, salsa, and chili soup mix.
And while we worked, the girls played.

Canning tomatoes has always been one of my favorite things to do. Maybe next year we can do it all together. I hope to be retired by then. Just think by then there will be another person in the kitchen. Wonder if it will be a boy or girl. Hmm!
