This and that and a winner!

I just got back from spending the weekend at my sister Lisa's in Seattle and we had a great time! We worked really hard trying to get our list of things done. We canned peaches and apple pie filling and dried some apples. Lisa has been working really hard on sanding her table and chairs and wanted to refinish them. We got that done then she decided she didn't like the looks of it and got painting it. Its going to be really cute when its completely done. I always have a good time with her and we always eat way too much! Its nice to have her so close though, well 4 hours away:) I am still looking for a job and I hope to hear back about one this week. This has been a huge trial in my life one that I dont want to repeat ever! I have just been so blessed with amazing people in my life who make these trials bearable. Anyway I am glad to have a chance to catch up with old friends and family through this blog. Its been so great to hear your advice and read about your lives on your own blogs. I am so grateful for all of you! I almost forgot to announce the winner of the drawing! Katie Watkins was the winner this time! I will have another drawing coming up soon so stay tuned:)
