Labor day weekend always seems to be the weekend to do some canning. With a three day weekend it is a great oppertunity to get it done. So this weekend I canned tomatoes. I am proud of myself for doing 122 pints. The cost of the tomatoes were 28 per bussel, but that makes it only 63 cents per bottle. That is cheap, and I might add that they are better tasting than the store canned tomatoes.

Mount Timpanogus Story Telling Festival

The Mount Timpanogus Story Telling Festival is a family tradition. It is just as the the title calls it...A story telling festival. It runs for three days and nights, and we always go to the last night of the festival. It is called "Laugh Night" and they get about 8 story tellers to tell funny stories. Some will sing with their stories others are just telling the story.

It has become a tradition for Gerry and I to attend it. THe Ireland family is the family that introduced us to this so of course we always sit with them. So the photos are of Gerry and I being silly, and Debbie Ireland, also a silly girl.

They said that there were about 5,000 people attending that night. It was awesome and it is cheap, so I would highly recommend this activity for everyone.
