\"Friendly-folks\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I flew down to Aberdeen, South Dakota, on Wednesday afternoon as my first workshop was on Thursday. It was an all-afternoon session on gardening and canning. I’m always amazed at how many folks have similar interests! There were hundreds of people attending the conference, many more than in years past. And my workshops were very lively and pretty full. People asked dozens of good questions and we had intense sessions.<\/p>\n

\"Full-workshops\"<\/a>
\nMy second workshop was on canning mixed foods and the third was on canning meat, poultry, and fish. The final workshop was on Saturday morning \u2014 growing fruit for cold climates. That one was filled to overflowing and folks were standing in the hallway, listening.<\/p>\n

\"Sitting-down\"<\/a>
\nNow I’m playing catch-up! Will and I went to town Sunday and bought the last four kitchen cabinets for our house. Wow! Now all that’s left is the center island where all the food preparation takes place and we’ll be done. That’s D-O-N-E!<\/p>\n

We spent until 11 p.m. last night filling the seed orders that arrived on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, while I was gone and I took a big bag to the post office this morning.<\/p>\n

I’m feeling relatively caught up now. So it’s back to “normal” (if I know what that is \u2026) Whew. I’m so glad to be home. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
