Saturday.

Canning peaches right now.  Have canned 7 quarts of pie filling- have 7 1/2 q of Peaches in Medium syrup in the canner.  Have peaches keeping warm on the stove too...

We went to an estate auction this morning at Dadeville, Mo.  I bought lots of goodies, including dozens of jars (am using them tonight!!).  I got really good deals on jars-and bought one box full of clear glass wire bail jars.  There were a few Atlas Hazel jars (my favorite!) plus a dozen or so of Zinc lids and tons of rings!

I also bought 3 dish pans for really sheap-2 of which are enamel ware! The other one is just alumminum, but I already used it tonight! 

The best thing we got at the auction.......







a 2002 Dodge 2500 Cummins.  It is silver, extended cab, long bed, AUTOMATIC, and best of all it was free! Well sorta free.  Chris has to promise to be Dad's slave for next thousand years lol!  Dad said it was a gift for all the hard work that Chris has done these past 4 years and all the hard work that Chris will do in the future.  We have to sell my dakota and give them the money from it though.  We really don't need 4 vehicles anyway!  The ironic thing is though-Dad bought me the Dakota my senior year of High School...and now he is getting some of that money back!

I haven't drove it yet, but hope to tomorrow sometime!

I love my mommy and daddy-they are so good to us.  They provided us a home, and have helped many other times.  They are so nice.
