Weekend Getaway
While I should have been canning, my husband and I took off for a getaway, and took a boat tour. Well worth it.
I am up early to wash dishes that were left on last Friday, and the one daughter who was home and on vacation, left more. Everything I need to can was still dirty. My mental health vacation needs another one. All I can say at this point, is that I am pretty sure my husband is on board with the lack of help and respect around here. He finally sees what I have been dealing with.
It's been a long day already. Yesterday was the one year mark we lost our 4 month old grandson, so we made a quick trip over to see them before retiring for the night last night.
Oh, while out on our getaway, I scored canning jars. There were no lids to be had, but I got myself jars with lids (which I needed, as I am down to my last 9 jars or so of half-pints). I also finished a crochet project during our drive. I hope to have a handiwork update soon.

Great pics! That water looks so calming! Good for you on the canning jars!!!
Beautiful photos from your getaway. Hope you find some peace during this difficult time and have a nice week.
So happy for you that you got to escape for a little while. This is a little backwards from you, but I got to stay at home for 3 days. We all need a break now and then. Wishing you much peace :-)
