Applesauce, too

I'm so excited that I was able to put up the door trim myself since I got my new mitre box. I also bottled 7 quarts of applesauce with produce that Karen brought me from Crowbar's farm. She also bought me an apple corer and peeler. It is really slick!! (Of course, I had to allow for a learning curve on adjusting the peeler.) Both tools are great -- thank you both very much!

Still no job, but I'm plugging away and exploring different options. I'm eligible for Social Security in Januaary, so that will help. I am getting lots done on the house with the extra time I have! Phase I is almost complete (kitchen, living room and yard). Shel and Matt are coming up in a couple of weeks to help me with the patio area. Phase II is the upstairs bedroom and bath area. At least there are no major expenses there -- just painting and curtains. I'll post some photos soon.

I'll also post some photos of our Alaska trip as soon as I get them titled so I know what the heck I'm sending.

Bobbo and I met Hal and Shel at the annual Apple Fest in Weston, MO yesterday. We had a great time, and the weather was gorgeous. We ended the day listening to a Celtic band named Dogtree -- they were wonderful! (No, Bob and I are not getting back together -- he was a lousy husband, but he's turning out to be a good friend.)

Love you all, MF

Wow, MF, you have done quite a bit! Your house is going to be quite amazing by the time you are done with it.
