Sweet Corn Sunday!

Well, that should have been the title for yesterday's post, but since I didn't get it done yesterday I decided to call it that anyway. Sunday morning (before church) Dad, Lynn, Gariann and Kirk went and picked 100 dozen ears of corn. Yes, they picked one hundred dozen. I think maybe that was just about 8 or 10 rows from Dad's garden. They'd picked 80 dozen the day before for Jake and Melissa, but I digress.
Aunt Neet, Dad's sister, was here visiting for a few days and she fixed dinner for our whole tribe.
After that delicious Sunday dinner, we started our corn processing plan.


We had a shucking crew, and a cutting team, and Gariann was our cook.

It was quite a smooth operation, and when we were done, we had over 225 pints of corn in the freezer.






Not bad for an afternoon and evening of fun. It really was fun too. Working together always makes it fun, except for poor Gariann. She was in the kitchen cooking and cooling corn all by herself. She missed out on a lot of laughs.



It's hard to believe that in just two weeks from today, I'll be back to school. Actually, I won't be driving until Wednesday, August 20th, but we have meetings to attend Monday and Tuesday, so I figure that's when my summer vacation ends.

Dennis will be going back for a checkup Friday. They'll x-ray his new knee and then we're hoping that they'll say he can start therapy and get rid of the brace.

There's so much more I could write if only I could remember! We really had a great vacation, and maybe when I have more time, I'll post a few photos from camp. Right now, I have yet to unpack and do laundry!
