Hey, it's Chelsey Rene, afternoons on EASY!
In case you missed it...
- I don't know why I held off reading Horse by Gerladine Brooks for so long, or why I wasn't able to finish it the first time I attempted reading it. I'm enjoying it now, however, even though the story, based on true events, is told through different points of views and different timelines. Brooks does a good job of distinguishing characters and time periods, making it easy to follow. This has got a little bit of everything, mystery, history, science and romance.
- With were overflowing with veggies from the garden, so we've been canning and freezing a lot recently. We, successfully, made some jalapeno jelly too, which I think it would go great with some cream cheese and crackers. Sam wants to use it as a glaze for ribs!
- We're going to Rock the Country in the Upstate, and while we camped a few times growing up, this will be our first time camping together and at a big festival. We don't know what we've gotten ourselves into. Please wish us luck as we battle the heat and the crowds LOL.
And since one of my New Years Resolutions is to lose 52 lbs, one pound per week, I'm going to keep track of it here, below, to hold myself more accountable.
