Good Ole Apple Butter


Apple Butter day is more than making apple butter, it is a social time of getting together with family.  This event reconnects the cousins as they sip hot cider, play games and visit.
 
Dad keeps the fire a burning.


Uncle Joe filling the jars of apple butter. 


 23 Gallons of apple butter ready to eat with townhouse crackers and peanut butter.  Yummy.  Dads shed makes a wonderful place for this large gathering.  If it rains or snows we are still in the dry.

Quilt Life
Just finished quilting all the double lines around the stars.
