Got up before 7:00 this morning. Took my shower and ate breakfast and then made a big batch of peach jam. Got 12 12 oz jars filled and sealed. Love how the house smells when the jam is cooking. Managed to not burn myself today. I did have a boil over but got the razor blade out and got that mess cleaned up. Have enough jars and peaches to do one more big batch and then I will be done with that project for the year.
Had two very nice guests last night. They were a mother and daughter who enjoy each other’s company. We sat outside and watched the stars come out for over two hours last night. They enjoyed s’mores around the fire pit. I came in around 10:00. The two of them sat out a while longer. It was the perfect night to star gaze.
My new refrigerator got delivered this morning. I have the refrigerator part of it filled. Need to do some shelf rearranging but that can wait until I use it for several days and figure out how to rearrange them so it serves my needs better. Going to keep the frozen stuff in the cooler for a bit until the freezer gets cold enough. Need to get a picture taken of the old one and get it listed for sale when I get home this afternoon. I also have a twin bed I need to list.
Going to Pioneer Bluffs this afternoon for the heritage talk, ice cream social and classical guitar music. If they don’t need my help I will come home early.
Having some low blood pressure today. Have been working on drinking extra fluids to see if that will help. Kathy said she was light-headed this morning too. Wonder what is up with that?
I joined two different on-line dating sites. May not stay for long but decided it was time to put myself out there. There is an interesting assortment of men to look at. How ever does one do this though? Dating is not something I was ever good at and not sure that has changed much. The funniest part to me is the whole age thing. The guys that are most attractive to me are in there 50’s and most of them are looking for a woman that is in her 40’s. I don’t feel like I am almost 65! I’ll see where this all goes! Not even sure I am ready for a relationship – would enjoy a new friendship though.
When I get home this afternoon I have a bedroom and bathroom to clean. My next guest doesn’t arrive until Tuesday so have some time to get the rooms cleaned and ready. A guest that was coming for next weekend cancelled this morning. That will make next weekend easier for me.
Have a fairly quiet week next week. I go see my Cardiologist Wednesday but he will be in Emporia so I don’t have to drive to Topeka this time. Sure trusting he will let me go off the blood thinners. Have my long-term boarder coming back Monday evening and then another guest checking in Tuesday and staying until Sunday. Have a friend coming for Saturday night so we can watch the Perseid Meteor Shower together. Other than that I have nothing on my calendar. Will be nice to have lots of empty space again.
Grateful another batch of peach jam is in the jars, grateful for a beautiful evening spent star gazing, and grateful for the possibilities life has to offer me!
