Getting Domestic!

A week ago Sundays we had completely open and free day on our hands. We started the day with some donuts, thunderstorms and PJ’s. Followed it with a great sermon at church. Then we took Owen out to feed the geese at a pond we know they frequent (photos coming in another post!).

BUT…the biggest accomplishment for the day was making pickles!!!! One of the blogs I read did a post on making pickles and ever since reading it was craving some homemade pickles!  My mother-in-law Linda gave us a TON out of her garden and I thought what better way to use them! She also just so happened to have a wonderful recipe for Bread and Butter Freezer pickles that she gave us as well! We ended up with 8 jars of homemade pickles and they are delicious!!! Thank you Linda and Gary for the great summer treat!

Oh and where was Owen during all of this?  Well after he ransacked the recycle bin until he found a suitable item, he grabbed his lizard (his new favorite buddy that goes everywhere in the house with him) and watched Cars in our bedroom!
I love wonderful blessed day like this!!
