WE WENT TO ROCKY FORT AND PICKED 11 5-GALLON BUCKETS WITH THE HELP OF OUR GRANDDAUGHTER SHEENA AND GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER BROOKLYN. THE PICTURE ABOVE IS OF BROOKLYN HELPING PICK TOMATOES IN THE TOMATO FIELD. SHE HAS FUN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, UNTIL SHE STARTED TRIPPING OVER THE TOMATO PLANTS AND EATING DIRTY ONES!!!
HERE COMES SOME MORE TOMATOES TO PEEL MOM, AND LANE YOU BETTER GET TO HURRYING UP WITH THE CUTTING SO WE CAN GET DAD BACK IN HER STUFFING TOMATOES INSTEAD OF TAKING PICTURES OF US WHILE WE DO THE WORK. DON'T THOSE JARS LOOK PRETTY?? THIS IS USUALLY OUR ONLY CANNING PROJECT OF THE YEAR, BUT IF THINGS STAY THE WAY THEY ARE RIGHT NOW WE MAY START LOOKING FOR A GOOD GARDEN SPOT SOMEWHERE I THINK. 
GETTING TOWARD THE END OF CANNING TOMATOES. CANNED 112 QUARTS. TOOK US ALL DAY. IT WAS HARD WORK FOR ALL, BUT WE WILL SURELY ENJOY THEM THIS WINTER AND NEXT SPRING. IN THE PICTURE IS LANCE ON THE LEFT, LINDA IN THE MIDDLE, AND LANE ON THE RIGHT. EVEN EMILEE HELPED US ALL DAY. SHE WAS A VERY GOOD LITTLE HELPER. SHE WAS THE CUT-UP GIRL. LORAN STUFFED THE JARS, LANCE HOT WATER BATHED THE TOMATOES SO WE COULD PEEL THEM, LINDA PEELED TOMATOES AND RAN THE JARS AND CANNER WITH THE HELP OF LANCE. WE WERE ALL VERY TIRED AT THE END OF THE DAY, BUT IT WAS AN ENJOYABLE FAMILY GET TOGETHER THAT JUST DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN ENOUGH. AND WE CAN'T FORGET WE EVEN TOOK THE TIME TO COOK HAMBURGER ON THE GRILL AND EMILEE, BLESS HER HEART SHE MADE SOME VERY GOOD HERB STUFFED TOMATOES UNDER THE OVEN BROILER. THEY WERE VERY GOOD. THANKS EM.ALSO, A BIG "THANK YOU" TO LANE, LANCE AND FAMILY FOR ALL THE HELP WITH THIS PROJECT!!!!
