Posted on 10/06/2012

Although I am slightly emotionally devastated that summer is pretty much over, although look at our week forecast, it's unreal-

I am cheering myself up by doing fall activities like finally canning peaches-

and pear butter. A coworker had 50 pounds of pears for $7, and although I passed up (since I already canned pears 2 weeks ago and didn't think I would have the time for 50 pounds) another coworker who did get 50 pounds asked me to take half hers since she knew SHE wouldn't use them all either. In a moment of weakness, I took 25 pounds. I decided to make pear butter. 25 pounds made this much pear butter:

But I am at my Aunts & Grandma's this weekend, so that will give me something to do next week :)
Last Sunday my parents came out to have dinner

and, then, this week my Mom and I finished a little project I have been working on for my house-

It looks really cute in its new home (my kitchen).
Wednesday I came "into town" :) to hang out with my parents-

I'm not super into politics at all, but my Dad and his BFF are, so we went to dinner and watched the debate.
