I came to stay with my sister this week and we have just had a fabulous time. I started by going to Sarah's to clean and after a couple of hours I noticed that nothing had gotten done, so I said lets go shopping. So we packed up 3 kids and called Margaret and went to pick her up. When we got inside my mom slipped us each some money and said to have a good time. We shopped for almost four hours and considering it was almost 9:30 when we got home my kids were angels.
So then the yesterday we had planned to go to Shipshewana, this time with no children. We started at the flea market and we hadn't even been there 2 minutes when I saw some peaches for $12 an half bushel and just had to get them. I had just called a farm to see if they had any and they did, but they were $22 for a half bushel. So I got 2 bushel and Sarah got a half. We went to the quilting store where I spent less than $20. That is pretty impressive for me. Margaret spent almost all of what my mom and given her there, so she was done shopping. But we stopped at the bulk food store before we headed home. We got home and started canning my peaches and it took three of us to get those canned in about 3 hours. It was a long day, but I got 21 quarts out of 1 bushel. I would take a picture so you all could see my pretty peaches, but my camera is still broken and I haven't gotten a new one. We will finish canning hopefully tomorrow, and then next week I think we will do some green beans.

ohhhh fresh peaches, next time I'll slip you some money for me:-)
Mmm...peaches....
Also, I LOVE that quilting store in Shipshewana. (At least, I'm pretty sure we're talking about the same one....the big one? in the mall-like building?) At any rate, that one was fabulous, and I'm shocked I actually left the store empty-handed.
