School started here last week, and<BR/>my office building is right next door to the other high school in town. My window faces the school driveway. Kinda makes me sad. Then I remember that my cell phone bill is $400 for last month, thanks to my daughter, and it's probably a good thing I can't reach out and touch her right now.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11886063555963722894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736979.post-1155227224323210342006-08-10T11:27:00.000-05:002006-08-10T11:27:00.000-05:00Hi Lady Di,I'm sorry I missed your comment.

She's got a boyfriend that's pretty distracting right now, but with them both in different schools in different towns she'll have more time on her hands when school starts. I'm hoping she wants to see or talk to me every day after she realizes I'm not trying to check up on her. We'll see....<BR/>Glad you like the recipe, and you can reduce the amounts to manageable amounts so you don't have to can it. It's great, really. :-)Diane@Diane's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919687116633720697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736979.post-1155187656123087622006-08-10T00:27:00.000-05:002006-08-10T00:27:00.000-05:00Tammy,Yep, that's probably why you have an ulcer, ...Tammy,<BR/>Yep, that's probably why you have an ulcer, my friend. :-)<BR/><BR/>Faith,<BR/>You're welcome. Let me know if you make it. :-)<BR/><BR/>Barb,<BR/>We always got one new pair of canvas tennis shoes at the beginning of the school year. By the end of spring I usually had to cut out the toes so I could keep wearing them to finish out the school year. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Yes, I think J is going to have a rude awakening, and soon. :-)<BR/><BR/>Remember all the purging? I have room in a couple of closets for boxes of canned stuff now. Not that I have a lot of it left. Between Jessica and the rest of my family and friends, my pickles, jam and salsa doesn't usually last long unless I deliberately hide some of it for later. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Sue,<BR/>I'm already finding out that missing them is a constant thing. Grandkids? When God sees fit, but I hope it's after J finishes college. We'll see......<BR/><BR/>Kim,<BR/>Hi, nice to know I was missed. ;-)<BR/>I LOVE the ocean and it really was a gift. So far I've only been twice, so it's very rare for me. <BR/>College? Ay yi yi...LOL ;-)<BR/><BR/>Brenda,<BR/>Thanks, and I think you got an email from Barb about the buttons...?<BR/><BR/>Andre,<BR/>Random is my mantra, just like my thoughts. ;-)<BR/>I'm picky about my salsa and guacamole, too. I make my own guacamole...Mmmmm, good.<BR/>Yes, college. Thanks, Andre. :-)<BR/>Keep praying. :-)<BR/><BR/>BTW, I left a LONG comment on your blog and it said it published. I even went back and read over it, but now it's gone. Did you delete it for some reason, or did Demon Blogger get it? No prob. if you did delete it, but if I offended you in some way I'd like to know so I won't do it again.<BR/>Take care, my friend. :-)<BR/><BR/>Big Mama,<BR/>You're welcome, hope you make it and enjoy it. College? *Sigh......*<BR/><BR/>Bev,<BR/>You're welcome, hope it turns out for you and you like it. Safe journey home, my friend. :-)<BR/><BR/>Yellow Mama,<BR/>You have all ages spread out, don't you? And I know EXACTLY what you mean about the paycheck. ;-)<BR/>I love hot stuff! Most of my family and friends are wimps so I don't make it hot enough for me usually. I just add cayenne pepper to mine if I want to spice it up. :-)<BR/><BR/>Pea,<BR/>All I can do is trust in God to watch over Jessica. As you say, so far, so good. :-)<BR/><BR/>Dick,<BR/>Yes, I can call her on her cell phone. Not free, but not too bad money-wise. Now it's not so bad, it's when she's in school that I'll really miss seeing her nearly every day. She'll be home when she runs low on food money, though. :-)Diane@Diane's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919687116633720697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736979.post-1155187535380636392006-08-10T00:25:00.000-05:002006-08-10T00:25:00.000-05:00Wow, college!

I think it's safe to say that some growing up will occur.<BR/><BR/>I am so glad I no longer have to buy books (until Aaron and I both pursue grad school that is), but I'm afraid I will have to endure the school supply shopping every year now until I retire. As a teacher, I hit those sails big time!<BR/><BR/>My parents moved out here almost two years ago. Since then, I have spend almost twice as much time sleeping on their couch as any place I have rented. I also talk to my mom every day.<BR/><BR/>I am starting a recipe book for my new married life, and your recipe will fit perfectly into my appetizers section!<BR/><BR/>You say nothing exciting is going on in your life, but it sounds to me like it sure is!!!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237961533094095009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736979.post-1155183912744689172006-08-09T23:25:00.000-05:002006-08-09T23:25:00.000-05:00Are you able to call Jessica at her home without i...Are you able to call Jessica at her home without it being a toll call? It is a hard but also a good time. You really do want them to grow up and be successful and yet you don't want to give them up. You do have a lot of good memories & it sounds like she is making sure she stays in contact with Mom, so you are luck in that regard.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381970360203140143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736979.post-1155164595228796862006-08-09T18:03:00.000-05:002006-08-09T18:03:00.000-05:00I've copied the Salsa recipe and it will be duly p...I've copied the Salsa recipe and it will be duly put in my Blogger Friends' Recipes notebook:-) It does sound so delish!! I sympathize with you about the heat...I'm always hot no matter what the temps are so when it reaches anywhere near 80F I'm ready to melt...can't even imagine handling the +100F some of you have been having!! My boys are 25 and 28 so it's been a few years since they finished university...I do remember though when they finished High School and I no longer had to buy all their supplies...I liked that! lol As for when they moved out, well that's another story...I would go in their old bedroom which was empty cuz they brought everything with them, sit in a corner on the floor, and just bawl my eyes out. It's so hard to let go!! I do worry about them but I have faith that I raised them right and that they'll do fine on their own..so far so good:-)Carole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736979.post-1155159752786216962006-08-09T16:42:00.000-05:002006-08-09T16:42:00.000-05:00It is weird for me.

School starts next week and I haven't done a thing...you know...waiting on the old paycheck thing. <BR/><BR/>I'm a N.M. born girl living in Texas and so salsa and hot sauce is a standard.

Boy, do you never rest woman? Sounds like between canning and running away on us to the beach no less you are one busy gal. Hope you take a minute or two to settle back in! <BR/><BR/>I am passionate about salsa. I think I've tried every ready made variety out there and asked for as many recipes over the years. This might be my very first attempt at canning if I can get time to do it. sounds so yummy. <BR/><BR/>Moving back to the beach trip. YOU go girl! Worth every ounce of effort I am sure. I dearly remember as a 15 year old laying in a lounge chair several hundred yards out in water up to my shins just loving the sounds and picking up shells, and uhh. . .getting the worst sunburn ever but hey, it was so worth it. I am so spolied(material-ly) and love when you remind me of it with your simple joy for life and each thing it offers you. I am so glad you took this opportunity when it came! <BR/><BR/>I've been to Emma Graces site. What heartbreak and yet what hope. It's a God thing for sure. We've had some real prasies around blogville of late. <BR/><BR/>I'll be thinking of Jessica as she sets off on this whole new adventure ~ college~ wow! I'm with Barb as to the cost of those text books, unbeleivable for sure. <BR/><BR/>Thanks also for the reminder to keep the gulf coast disaster in our prayers. I've only ever driven through that part of the country once but it was such a beautiful place. Can't imagine. <BR/><BR/>Best get back to doing what I sat down for, work, real work. hehe.<BR/><BR/>have a great week.

That, and the one pair of new shoes a year I got and bobbie socks that were still so new I didn't need rubber bands to hold them up yet.<BR/><BR/>A defining moment in my life was the first trip to the college bookstore when Krissy started college. Oh my. How on this ever lovin' earth eight books can cost $400 is one of those things my brain is never going to process.<BR/><BR/>It's so exciting when they start college. A huge transition. Lots of adjustments on everyone's part.<BR/><BR/>Salsa sounds wonderful. You're canning up a storm!
