I DID IT~

I had 5 cucumbers given to me yesterday and i was thinking some bread and butter pickles would taste good but i hadn't thought about making them in a long time....guessing maybe 10 years ago....i made a small batch and forgot to rinse them in the making and they were too salty....

Yesterday i got the urge to try again.....i was worried about my a-fib getting in the way and i might have to stop but i did them anyway.....i did have to rest all i could sitting down my legs and back were screaming..By the time i got to the end i was glad i didn't have anymore....i made 4+ pints with onions.....They looked really good and they all sealed which made me happy....today i had to try and see if they tasted good....i took a bite of the open jar in the frig and it brought back memories when i used to can veggies by the bushel....i think i made a good batch...

I left my mess of pans and bowls and went to bed as i was having trouble walking by the time i was done and i needed sleep anyway...its the only way i get relief with my legs and back.....

So when i got up tonight i got the kitchen straightened and everything put back in order...i most likely will be up all night again or if legs act up will go to bed early...i am still really tired from all the exertion but i am glad i did it...more later....
