Housewife, 54

 What? Only a couple of weeks since my last post? That's another change! Jim's job only lasted for 10 days... it was just too hard on him.  Knees, learning curve, uncertainty...  So he quit, came home and started applying for other jobs the same day.  He is getting call-backs and interviews, but may have to take part time-no benefits. So to add to our concerns is finding Health care insurance.  What a nightmare! And then.... Covid has hit the kid's daycare facility - and that whole small town in general.  So I have the kids again indefinitely.  Kids AND Jim at home (and stressed out) is not going to be a happy combination.  I think I'll be going over to their house for the day ... often... Babies are fun Grandma turned TV off. So they found the Echo View and asked Alexa for videos. AND the weather has changed to fall!  We have even had our first snow flurry, with more expected in the coming days.  No accumulations yet, but still.... depr...

 While it isn't over until it's over, the garden is pretty much done for the year.  So I decided to take a bit of inventory today to see how well we have done.  Compared to last year when I got almost nothing (except the 50 or so onions that a friend picked out of my old garden and sent home with my hubby), anything will be progress!  I know I don't have enough of anything to last a full year... except green beans - I might have enough of those! Here are a couple of pics of the freezer and pantry. I've actually made a current inventory, so for lack of a better place to save it, I'll put it here.  This does not take into consideration all of the things I have eaten so far! NOT from my garden;    Purchased produce, then frozen:                    2 gal. bags peaches                    2 gal bags of Jersey sweet potatoes (patties)       ...
