I had the best of intentions to do a lot more than we did, but we had fun anyway!  Anneliese and I made and canned homemade apple sauce this weekend!  It was my first time without my mother in law overseeing and guiding me, and Anneliese's first time ever.   I had hoped to be a better teacher because I think it's important for young ladies to learn such womanly arts, but I gotta say it was a bit of a kerfuffle.  

At any rate, we had a super time together, we both learned a few things, and we got 7 pints of apple sauce put away for winter! I was proud of us both, and in spite of the small amount we got done, it's a satisfying feeling to see the jars all filled and ready to put away.
