Update

Well no new internet system yet. The tech did not show up yesterday  to install and when I called this morning they indicated that the utilities had not notified them that it was okay to dig there. So a new appointment will be next Friday. I am not very happy needless to say but not much I can do about it. I will try to be patient.

I don't know if I will get much card making done either as the garden is starting to produce enough where I am busy with that. I am freezing green beans today. So I do have productive work. I freeze my beans in a two step process. First day I butt, slice and wash the beans and blanch them for three minutes and cool off. I then drain them well and spread them out on cookies sheets and freeze them that way.

Tomorrow I will take a spatula and remove the beans from the sheet and bag and label them .   By doing them this way they are frozen in more individual beans and not one clump. So if I want to just add a portion of a bag to a dish I only need to shake out that amount.

Well, have a good weekend. And, sorry if I miss  posting much. More then likely if I can it will be only a word or two as I need to hurry before the internet goes down again. No need to respond back to this post as I just wanted to fill you in on my issues again. Sure is getting to be an old story with my internet woes.

God bless,
Verna

Verna, I just wanted to comment that I'm sorry you still don't have your internet, but you are being very productive with other things. That's exactly how I freeze things like beans and berries. Of course, I don't blanch berries, but you know what I mean. Also, we've been away again and I'm not even going to stress myself trying to catch up on all the blogs, but I took a look at your fabulous cards and want you to know how I adore them. Those snowflakes -- WOW!!

Unbelievable! We had some scheduling/communication snafus when our wires were down after a big storm back in May, and it could not have been more frustrating thinking we had an appointment set up to get it fixed and then finding out we didn't (several times). I hope this gets worked out soon and that your new service works super well for you when you get it set up. Hang in there.

That is so frustrating but maybe it was meant to be since you have other things that really need to be done in a timely manner. It all seems to work out and your beans come first!
