Bean Baking Day ~ Hubby Gets A Flat


Today is a bean baking day.  I have two crock pots going - one with 2 lbs. of black beans, and one with 2 lbs. of kidney beans.  These will be frozen and used for meals to cut the cost (and unhealthy ingredients) in canned beans. 

Last night was a short night for sleep for three of us - hubby, me and my son. 

He called at 12:40am, and said he had a flat tire on the highway, just outside of his work.  He works about 1 hour from home.  

My son and I drove up, bringing a jack and tire.  However, the jack was not strong enough for his Explorer.  Luckily, Meijer was open at that hour, and we had to buy a new jack.  Once the tire was on, they needed to put air in it (something he didn't think to ask me to do before we left home).  Luckily, he has an air compressor in his vehicle. 

We made it home about 3:00am, and I woke up with major allergy/sinus issues.  I could not see from one eye, and used my lavender eye pillow that I keep in my freezer.  When that didn't work, I had to resort to eye drops for allergies.

I think there will be three of us taking a nap today.   Hubby took a personal day, as he would have only had 3 hours of sleep to go to work today.  

All the kids are home today - school conference days.

Good idea cooking up the beans ahead of time. I often forget to start mine! LOL!!
Sorry about the flat tire and the sinus problems. Hope you are all feeling better today.

I not only cook them in the crockpot but I also can them in my pressure canner. They taste just like store bought too.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
