Something worth blogging

I have had blogging on the brain for the last few days. There really hasn't been much to blog about. It has just been a normal week of house work, canning, children and other busyness.

I though about doing a post about our awesome college retreat last weekend. We exchanged our 2 kids (thanks mom) for 10 college students and headed to the Christian Renewal Center up near Silver Creek Falls. I would highly recommend the place. They have a few huge rope swings and a zip line, plus hiking at the falls. The think that appealed to me the most was that they do all the cooking and cleaning!! I had 5 meals in a row that I didn't have to cook, clean a face/floor/ table up afterward, or do dishes. Can I get an Amen!Here is our group. They are awesome and we love everyone of them. It is great supervising a group that is all over 18! We can let them pretty much do what they want. It also helps that none of them are trouble makers.

Like I said I though about doing a whole post dedicated to the retreat, but that is about all I am willing to share on that topic.

I also though about doing one on yesterday when the phone rang a gazillion times. Most of the time there was no one on the other side. I still answered it a lot! To the point that Clara was walking up and down the hall, holding a play phone to her ear saying, "Hello, hi, hello, hi, 'dis Odessa, hello, hi!"

But again that was only a thought. For if you are patient, then your children will truly give you something worth blogging about.

Today before lunch I know Clara was tired, but I really wanted to finish what I was doing, which I did with much whining from her. We still sat down at a decent time for lunch at 12:00. At about 12:15 I looked over and saw this:That is still her spoon in her mouth! And yes she is out cold!

Canning count so far: 197 jars on the shelf, 1 broken in the canner, and 3 failed seals.
