A day at the Cannery

Last summer my parents made an appointment to go to the cannery to can some food storage. On Monday the day finally arrived, they were booked that far in advance. Alan and I have really been trying to focus on getting our food storage up. With all the uncertainty in the world right now we just feel that it is really important.

We canned 72 cans altogher for Alan and I, Beth and Jeff, my parents, and Alan's parents. We actually had a really good time and it only took us like an hour to do it. That's my dad and Alan's dad in the background.

Here is Me, Beth, and Madison. Madison did really well the whole time. She just sat there and watched. I think that because there was so much going on she didn't get bored.

So I said that once I got my hair colored I would put a picture of me on here. I love my hair! Alison did such a good job with the cut and color. It's definitely different than I have ever had it, but I think it's perfect. Thanks so much Ali!!!


On Monday my mom had to take my grandpa to the hospital. I guess he was having a hard time breathing and she had thought for a while that he had pneumonia, but he is so stubborn he wouldn't go to the hospital. Finally she forced him to go and it was a good thing. Apparently they think he had a pretty minor heart attack and they are having to give him blood transfusions. It was a good thing she went when she did though. We went and visited him tonight and he seems to be doing well, but he for sure doesn't want to be there. The doctor wants him to stay for rehab, but he said he's leaving before that, he just has to find a way out. That's what he said tonight, he is so funny. Anyway, just keep him in your prayers.
