If you looked on my blog a day ago you would have seen the house we made an offer on. Well the offer was not accepted, and I think we are almost relieved but still a little disappointed, but I think it's for the best. We are going to wait for a few more months to watch the market, and maybe get a better deal. The prices are really coming down in our area. A yr ago we would not have been able to even think about buying a house. I hope the house fairies are looking down on us.

My very first attempt at canning was a success. Except I am not very patient and could not wait to open the canner to see what happen in there. Harry had to read me the instructions several times so I could understand the timing and all that jazz. We did our peaches today, and I will do the nectarines tomorrow. It was fun and not as bad I thought it would be. Now I remind myself of my Grandma Smart. She made us eat all her canned fruit, hmmmmm but I don't remember really liking it that much. But I'm sure I will LOVE my own.
Why do they call it canning? The peaches are in jars..... ;o)
Harry and I took a drive up to Mt. Bachelor, it was such a pretty day, we were able to ride the chair lift to the top and the sites were so pretty. It was a little chilly, and some snow and ice on the ground, but it was worth it. I wish everyone we love could come see this with us.
I hit a really big bump on my route the other day and knocked the muffler out , and I just wanted everyone to know that I married Mr. HandyMan. Harry can fix anything, I really think he can. I love this guy.
I finished Breaking Dawn last night and I am really sad that this might be over. Now we have to wait for months for the Movie? I really enjoyed these books. We had a blast going to Forks and seeing the sights. It is a series for all ages. If you have not read them it's worth getting them or barrow them. I'm sure someone you know has them. 
Ok so the only day off I had this week was today so we decided to take a drive and go to a rock garden that we have heard about forever. It was really cool but really run down. There was a guy there that said the last time he was there was in the 60's and it was beautiful then. It was really cool though. 
Ok so I know the book has been out for about a week now but I am taking my time reading it. I have had it for about 5 days and am only half done. I don't want to finish it. I don't want it to end and I don't want to be a Twilight freak like one of my sisters who has read each book more then once. (Jenne):o) So please nobody spoil it for me. But for those who have not read it yet. All I have to say is GET THE SERIES!
Oh my gosh, Harry got these free tickets for Alice Cooper about 2 months ago and has been reminding me for weeks that this was coming up. I have told him from the get go that I did not want to be the lucky one that gets to go. He did not go see Mamma Mia with me, so I thought he had it all figured out and had someone to go with him, but NO, I was the lucky one that got the golden ticket. I did not forget my ear plugs and I used them proudly. There was nothing about this concert that I liked, but Harry LOVED it. I am married to a "Metal Head". I wish he loved country music as much as he loves hard rock. 
I went to see Mamma Mia with a few friends and we absolutly loved it. Harry was at work and he did not want to see it so I took advantage of a girls day out. It was fun and as soon as I got home I got the music for my IPOD. I love it. If you have not seen it yet, you have to go. 
Harry was able to attend the Ward Family Reunion this past week and just got home last night. He had a blast, he said that everyone has missed me more then they missed him this past year since we moved out west. I'm sure that is not true. I sure wish I was able to go but someone has to bring home the bacon. No, I just started at the Post Office so I could not get time off. I'm glad Harry was able to go and I am so happy that he enjoyed himself. He works hard and deserves some time off.
Here is Harry, his parents and siblings.

Harry was in Sisters last weekend and did some training. Here is a cool clip of him he is the one on the left and it says DPSST on his bunker coat. And some pictures. 
We had so much fun this past weekend with the Smart Family in Spokane. Jenne, my Mom and I went to see Carrie Underwood in concert and it was great. The opening act was Josh Turner and man he is a doll. Cute pictues of them on Jenne's Blog. Here are a few pictures of the weekend. Harry in princess shoes that a little princess made him wear.
Harry tried out his lumber jack skills this weekend too. My Dad had a leaning tree that he needed to get rid of and Harry cut it down.
Here is Dad peppering Jenne for dinner and the newest addition to Jenne's house, their new turtle Annie.
We drove up to Manito Park on the South Hill and walked through the Japanese Garden, and one last pic of a pretty flower from the front yard at the cabin.
I want to wish all the Mothers in my life a Happy Mothers Day. Everyone that looks at this bolg are wonderful Mom's. I love each and everyone of you.
I love being a mother. Beautiful Daughters bring you such joy. I love the daughters in my life and I would not trade this life for anything. I am so thankful for everything I have.
When I got up this morning Harry had some beautiful flower waiting for me.
