Canning, Projects, Cooking, and Shopping

I got a bag of corn Saturday. A bag has somewhere between 80-90 ears. I usually use half of them for making corn relish. They other half goes in the freezer. Sunday morning I went to the store to get the other ingredients needed. My friend gave me more cucumbers Friday night, so I wanted to make bread and butter pickles too.  I have been busy canning all summer and I love it!!

Sunday night once it cooled off, I tackled the garage door project. I found a link on Pinterest that showed how to use gel stain to redo your garage door so it looks like wood. I bough some a few weeks ago and have just been waiting until I had some time.

I love the way it looks. I didn't take a before picture and don't feel like digging through albums looking for one. Before it was lighter brown and very dull. It looked like a regular metal garage door. I have carriage door handles and brackets to put on it once I get on the clear coat.

I've been wanting new swim suits all summer and since we are going to the beach next week I went to Dillard's to see what they had left. I found these two. I also bought this really cute black top to go with some black bottoms I already have.

We have been enjoying crest veggies from our garden and my friend's garden. Monday night I made stuffed bell peppers and grilled squash.

Tuesday morning I decide to clean out the cabinets under the TV. We've added more speakers and wire and the subwoofer has been sitting out on the floor for several weeks. I have way too many glass vases that I never use. 

I took everything out of the cabinets and started from scratch. That has been my method of cleaning since I was little. Here is the end result. The subwoofer has a new home!!

Perla watched the bird all morning.
