Corn Anyone?


So I got a little ambitious and purchased 10 dozen ears of corn to freeze. I don't think I was really thinking how much corn that really was for a family of three. Oh well, we have corn that will probably last us until next year.
I found the best way to put up corn. I have done it 2 different ways and this way buries the other way. This way consists of a bunt cake pan and an electric knife. You just put the ear of corn in the hole in the middle of the bunt pan and shave all of the kernels off with the electric knife. It went really fast-and now we are enjoying the fruits of our labor. :)

This Week in a Nutshell

So I kind of think that I am the last one to get on the ball and start a blog. In the last two weeks, I have had quite a bit of exposure to different family and friends and I think....why not? It is a great way to journal life's day to day happenings.
Scott has been gone for about a week and just got home today. Maya is loving it because she has a new person to entertain her for awhile. I think that she gets sick of me, so it is nice for her to have a little variety. Thanks for coming home Scott!
We picked up my mom from Education Week on Friday. It is always a little depressing when that is over. I love it when my mom's friends come to town. I love the dynamics and corkiness of everyone when they are all together. So Sylvia, Jeneane, and Mom- thanks for making me smile. I am so grateful for each of them and for their willingness to always make us part of their family-even though they are not technically "family". Mom and Dad, thanks for being such great examples of the importance of friendship. I hope that I will follow your lead and have the blessing of great friendships also.
Jason was nice enough to come and see us this weekend. It is always good to see Jase. I love ya kid...we miss you guys.
