September 13-19, 2020 BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) Starts, Painting Deck, Anniversary, Canning

Hello Friends!

I have started working on the new Bible study materials for both of the groups I’m going to be in this year; one as a leader and one as a student.  Fortunately both my church group (Thrive) and BSF are doing the same book of the Bible again this year so I’m doing both groups.  This year we are doing Genesis, and last year we did Acts in both groups.  I started working on both workbooks this week, although only BSF had actually started.  I had the Thrive leader forward me the audios of the lectures for me to start listening to. I’m so excited to start both new series!

Painting the Deck:

I’m still diligently working on getting the deck painted and protected before it gets too cold to paint.  Besides the deck, I’ve also been painting the white picket fence around our decking.

Garden:

I’ve been picking green beans and tomatoes.  Last week I had picked our grapes and we made grape jam!  The best thing we make is our grape jam---so amazing!  Words just don’t do it justice, so I won’t even try to the party that goes on in your mouth with our jam!  We are digging up our potatoes and canning them as well.  This year for the first time I’m canning celery as well as jars of celery mixed with other greens for my soups.  On Friday I did three different canning batches; pretty good for me.  This is such a crunch time for getting everything canned and not wasting all the work from my summer garden.

Anniversary:

Another anniversary for Dh and I!  Twenty-two years already!  We worked the whole day, most notably I got spinach planted in the hoop house and canned green beans.  Dh made me two frames for raised beds for next  year’s garden as his gift for me.  One of these years we will do something special to celebrate.

Dd’s Progress:

Dd said she was camping at her boyfriend's house again with friends.  I don’t see her much but hear she is still working on her last two subjects.
