Today we visited a local museum that has all kinds of things from the 1800's. They have cabins set up like an old time community and the building house things such as dishes, wagons, dolls,furniture etc...I will be posting pictures tomorrow of our step back in time! The museam is called Harber Village and was named after Harvey and Bernice Jones which are the people that began Jones trucks lines...we visit every year since we are not that far from it...we just love it and dream of how it must have been to live back then...Oh what I would give!

Then we came back home and picked greenbeans and squash from the garden...we picked gr. beans 4 days ago and I was able to freeze 2 gallons and tonight we picked enough that I was able to can 10 pints. I am hoping to be able to put up at least 40 pints but we shall see...Anyway its late and its my bed time so I am signing off...Good-Night!

Sounds like a fantastic place! I'd probably be tempted to pack a bag and move right in, lol. I can't wait for the pictures. So you both freeze and can green beans? The reason I ask is that we have thought about doing both as well this year. I've always canned them, but a lady at church brought some to a potluck over the winter and they tasted so fresh and wonderful that we decided we should try it. (The ones we had tried before tasted too--excuse the pun here--"green.") Do you have any special tips for it, or just the standard "blanching and freezing" method. Thanks! :-)
