Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day everyone! And blessings to all!

DH and I both have to work today, so it isn't mych of a "relief" from labor for us, but that's ok. Things are pretty tight round here, and we celebrate every day with each other....  :)

Haven't been here in a bit cause my desktop went down finally, and DH decided that I needed a new laptop, which was nice. SO here I am, but I can't download pics or anything cause I don't want to use all the memory putting pics on here and so on......

Our garden has just about had it, but we're still getting green beans, which is a blessing.... we've been freezing them mostly this year, and not canning, along with our corn. We made some chow chow (about 6 quarts) and dd first attempt at making V8 juice was good, but she didn't strain it, so we ended up with a rather thick tomato base for stews and such! LOL! That's ok though, at least she's learning.  :)

DD 16 made Dad a Dutch Apple pie a few nights ago... boy... was that delish! She's really getting to be an excellent cook!

DD 15 is getting along well in school. She's made a few mistakes, but nothing that a little pep talk from Mom and Dad couldn't handle. I really like the school she's going to this year. They have a website so I can see each day what her grades are, what homework she has, when it was/is due, and her overall grade for each class. She's been needing a bit of help in Algebra (who wouldn't?) so she stays after each day to get some extra help. That is appreciated too....

I just got to thinking last night... we have 3 more grandbabies coming!

Amber is having a little girl very soon. She's due September 19th, but thinks she may go early.  I would just about give my eye teeth to be there for her and with her.... but she has a good husband and another daughter lives close, so I am sure she'll be there too.

Loren is having another baby in January.

And our son Jerry and his lady are having a little girl due January 16th.

Grandma better get to crackin, me thinks! LOL! Especially since a certain little girl is already asking for Grandma to make her a ladybug blanket for her room.....  (hiint hint!)   Do I see a run to JoAnn Fabrics tomorrow after school? LOL!

Well, I had better scoot and get a few more things accomplished around here before I have to go in tonight. Working on laundry right now, and want to get that done today.....

Than I need to at least study a bit before test on Wednesday! LOL!

That's about all the updates for the Hatfield House.... just a plain ol family, raising plain ol children in a plain ol way......

Blessings to you all!
