Canning
 I decided to do something new today. I made turkey & noodle soup for dinner, which is one of my favorites - but when I make it, I tend to make way more than my family can endure to eat. This has always been nice as there is always someone - a new neighbor, someone at church who is sick, or just somebody who needs some TLC to take some of the extra soup to. It is so hearty and warm, and nourishing. Anyway, since we have moved, I haven't really established those kinds of relationships with anyone to know who needs what - and after watching a lengthy documentary about "The Future of Food" on Susan Godfrey's blog yesterday, I have decided that I am going to jump into gardening, canning and homesteading with both feet. (Thus the new interest in this blog that I created a while ago - and the community here.) I always have canning jars, so I took two pints down from the cabinet and ladeled the hot soup into them, added lids and rings, and then gave them a boiling water bath. The lids actually "set" (or whatever you call it when they suck in and make that "POP" sound) and I was so thrilled. My son and I like to have hot soup for lunch, etc. so after we are not tired from the two nights of dinners we will eat with the fresh soup, I will have two nice jars to open at different days for he and I to share. (My girls like it too - but it is one of his favorites!)
I tried posting on my regular blog about the Future of Food video - but I think I would get more response here - but if you are interested you can check out my post on HomeschoolBlogger about it!
Nice to meet y'all - I hope that this blog will be a great place to live and learn!
 Love and blessings! ~ ? Julie ? ~

My husband Travis and I have been together for 18 years. He is an electrician and the most creative, resourceful person that I have ever known. He is my BEST friend.
My 15 year old daughter Kendra is in 10th grade. She is currently very invested in fund raising for a mission trip she wants to take with Global Expeditions to France & Italy in the summer of 07.
My 8th grade daughter, Kaitlyn is 13 years old. She is homesick for West Virginia - but looking for exciting new adventures as a family here in TX.
Kullen is my 9 year old son. He keeps the family on our toes. He has a very loving heart, and always makes us laugh! He enjoys playing his guitar.
