Salsa !

Glad to hear Sharon you could put the tomatoes to good use,
that is a lot of sauce!  It will sure taste good when the snow it flying, and you open up a jar
and you will be able to taste summertime!!   Mmmm !!!
  I was in the kitchen making salsa again tonight ( I just  never know what I will be doing
when I come to work !)  this will be the 3rd time this tomato season. I just enjoy my job!!
It is a joy to come to work!  This will be the last time, the tomatoes are not producing any
because of the heat. Maybe she would get some more if she would water them. She ( Pam
the bosses wife) probably don't want any more, I figured up how much her 40 tomato plants
produced this summer: 42 pints of salsa, 7 qt. tomato juice, and 25 half pints of pizza sauce.
This being her first year to can anything she is probably glad it's done. 
I was just happy to cook on her 6 burner stove :)))  She cooked it all in a huge aluminum stock
pot, so I don't know it I would want to eat any of it :(   Tomatoes and aluminum don't go together!
Well I will talk later, I have floors ( at work) to sweep!

Sharon the date was the 25th of August. It is a Thursday. I don't know how the lady is about you taking off, but the invitation is there if you can make it-would love to hang around with you for a day !
 I made the Butter Pecan cookies, they taste much better with the sugar/salt topping. I would almost cut down on the pecans and the chips a little, seemed to me there was not enought dough to hold all the add in's.  That is all, they were very good Mmmmm!

Tea time!

 Had a wonderful visit with my mother and sister today!  Mom went to a deep muscle therapist up here by me and got worked over.  It must of done her good because she left there standing up straighter and walking better than when she went in.  Her name it Lydia, and she is an older Amish lady.  Very nice and soft spoken but, don't let that fool you, she made mamma hollor!! 
 We go back to her in 3 weeks. I am going to take that day off so I can enjoy my company better, so if any one else want's to come please do and we will make a fun day of it!
