did that really just happen?

I tell you, nobody has the power to make or break my day like this kid. Here's what was said:

Berkeley: "Nice sunglasses."

Me: "Oh, yeah. Sorry. I think these are yours."

Berkeley: "I know. They look good on you."

Just took a few seconds to turn my whole day around! Lately I've felt that this stage of parenting rocks! Although I don't think I'll press my luck by borrowing any clothes.

Anybody else have good teenager moments to share?

millions of peaches...part two

For all the space-age housewives out there, you know you're not supposed to put a canner on a glass-top stove. We've been canning outside for years using a camp stove. It's slightly inconvenient to carry the jars out from the kitchen, but a major upside to canning outside?
Your house doesn't get hot.

And you still get this:

After a couple of batches, all I had left was this many peaches.
Not enough for another batch.

But after Mike read my last post, he made this!
Peach n' blueberry crisp for me!!!
