Peaches!!!!

 Last year we didn't can any peaches so we needed to do some this year.  We did a TON of peaches!! I think Dad bought 15 boxes of peaches but luckily we didn't can all 15!  But we did can 87 quarts of peaches and over 50 jars of peach jam!  I headed up to Mom's as soon as the boys left for school which was around 9:00. Marilyn was already there so we started the process.  Shan came up when Aliyah finished school and Mylissa came up too.  Shan found a theme song for us. It's the song that goes:  "moving to the country, I'm gonna eat me a lot of peaches.  Peaches for you. Peaches for me."  We laughed so hard!!!  We had quite the factory going.  Dad stayed outside with the camp chef processing the jars.  You couldn't count how many times poor dad went up the stairs.  When the jars were done, he set them on a table in the garage to cool.  The kids were such good helpers.  Tanner took a couple of long naps so that saved me!  Sweet Marilyn made a yummy pasta salad for us to eat for lunch.  Dad ended up going to the store three different times during the day.  But we finally finished up around 8:00!!!  Shantelle made us turkey and cheese panini.  We were starving so they tasted so good.  We ate the rest of Marilyn's pasta salad with the sandwiches.  It was a very long day but we're so happy to have peaches in our food storage.
