Taking a break from canning.Good news/bad news


 Sloppy joe (for hamburger pie) and Taco soup.


Sausage and potato soup, honey garlic porkchops and spicy pineapple pork chunks.


The weather forecast for the coming week. Winter is about a month early.

Winter squash including pumpkin is holding well. The rest of the meat for canning, I put directly in to freezers. So we decided to focus on getting ready for Christmas and I can go back to canning after Thanksgiving. 

Hubby went through all the Christmas lights. We have 4 Christmas decorations, issues with lights that might not get fixed. He is working on a purple martin house now as the old one fell apart.

I am behind on paperwork but got Medicare, medigap and part D dealt with for both of us.

Good news is the 5 yr old boy is recovering and in physical therapy , does have a long road of recovery especially with him having autism and in his grandparents home.

Bad news is his mother tried scamming several of our friends, some veterans and son that he was still having surgeries and she needed copays. Since the child and her was under a protection order due to an attack on her last year. It was hard for Son2 to check on them while in hospital.He finally had Children services and law enforement check on him and found he had been released and there was no copays needed.He definitely broke engagement off, been friends for over 20 years. And she is looking at criminal charges. Said her dad was a cop... he is security for a factory. They filed for custody of the child, thanked Son2 for caring enough about the child to stop her from using the boy. 

Found out that is not the only criminal activity she was doing.SIGH. Son2 put himself in to counseling over it.
