Last weekend was so busy and so wonderful. Both the girls came home for Joleen’s baby shower. It is the first time I have seen them both at the same time in forever.

Friday,
I had to cancel my chemo on Friday since I had been so sick the first of the week. Which turned out to be perfect. Skyler’s parents have a hot air balloon and they were flying in Durango at the balloon rally on Friday. I have been wanting to go to one forever and finally had the opportunity. It was so amazing I got to go up, so much fun I absolutely loved it. We went to brunch afterward in Durango at a place I had never tried before. Doughworks it was so good.

When we got home I rested for a bit (I am not used to getting up at 4:30 haha). Then went and set up for the baby shower we got most of it put together. As soon as that was done we went to dinner with my brother his family, some of Joleen and Katies friends, and the Girls brother and his wife Casey & Erika) that came up for the baby shower.

Saturday
Got up and started cooking for the baby shower, we served brunch so I made link sausage, mini pancakes, french toast sticks, hashbrown patties, mini quiches, and a fruit plate. We had mimosas and juice. Joleen’s Sister in law and Mother in law put a candy bar together it turned out so cute.

It turned out so good there were about 30 people and she got some of the cutest things for the baby.

When it was done we cleaned up. Then I went home and made a big pot of red chili beans and a smaller pot of green chili for a dinner at my Dads that evening. Dinner at my Dad’s was so good there were a ton of people. We had Frito pies and the girls got cupcakes for my Birthday. I did have some chili left over so I put it in the freezer for Andy to take to hunting camp, one less thing I will have to worry about making.

It was a very busy but good weekend. I really hated to see the girls go home.

Sunday I just rested, I was pretty worn out haha.

We did have our first freeze and I haven’t picked any tomatoes yet so I had to get busy Monday and get tomatoes done. I worked on them Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I got 31 Quarts of Rotel, 40 Pints of Rotel, and 30 Quarts of chipotle tomatoes.

I also told a friend I would make a birthday cake for her son so I worked on that for two days. I did a drip and sprinkles that I haven’t ever done before so I still need a little practice haha.

Then we were going to get our first snow last night so I got all the rest of the peppers and jalapenos picked.

Yesterday, Sunday,
I am just taking it easy while Andy and several others went up to set up hunting camp.

So this next week I need to get the bell peppers done I want to chop them and add chopped onions to put in the freezer. I have several pounds of Jalapenos to do I will can a bunch of them and make cowboy candy with some of them. ( I will be showing how to do that on the youtube channel) . Andy did cover some of the tomatoes so I am hoping I can get at least one more batch of Rotel and at least one batch of salsa. Andy leaves for hunting camp Thursday and I told him I would make a batch of breakfast burritos for him to take.

Then on Friday, I have chemo and they are wanting to do a CT scan to see if the chemo is working. I don’t imagine I will get a lot done on Saturday and Sunday probably will just be resting from the chemo.

Sometime in there, I would like to get a couple of wreaths made so I can start selling them. I also want to try and start selling gourmet cookies so maybe I can get a couple of test batches made this week also.

Have a great week and what are your goals for the week?
