RIP Aunt Pat...

I woke up this morning to the news that my aunt had finally passed away. She is in a much better place. We slept in this morning and had no kids today. We had breakfast and I headed outside to water. Most of the tomatoes are gone and there are no more blooms. Beth called and the pool is closing Sept. 28, so we will be able to pack up the pool area before we go to Disney in October. I came in and took a shower and headed to Target. I had to get some seal a meal bags for the tomatoes. I came home and fixed lunch. We had steak and the left over frys from last night. Beth is so glad we have the speed cooker for frys. They stay crunchy and hot. After lunch, I sorted through the tomatoes and selected the ones that were still good for slicing and the rest were going to be frozen. There were still about 20 that we will use for tomato sandwiches. I started a pan of water boiling and dropped the tomatoes in to remove the skins. I then placed them in bags. I put about 8 in a bag and had 6 bags. Does that tell you how many tomatoes we had. I put them in the freeze first before sealing, since I don't have the seal a meal that has a liquid setting. I have to wait for this one to shoot craps before I can get a new one and it is about on its last leg. Beth left for the hospital. She was going to talk to her mom about changing hospitals and doctors. We just don't think she is getting the care she needs. I worked on scrap booking stuff while she was gone. I am working on Rylee's book right now, but will have to stop and work on the calendar for mom for Christmas.
