Simply Amazing!

Amazing Amazon! I just love Amazon and Craigslist no telling what you'll find if you just keep your eyes open. I got home this evening and low and behold a package was sitting by the door. "Hmm wonder what this could be?" I asked myself. I took it in and opened it and My new book had arrived.

And what book was it you ask? LOL Well a very entertaining and informative book:
"Jams, Jellies, and other sweet preserves"

I have decided to try my hand at making some jam. Apricot Jam to be exact. Since I picked up 2 dozen jelly jars from a lady on Craigslist. (for Free I might add) And was able to purchase 6 pounds of apricots for only .75 a pound from a local farmers market.

I promise to make sure that I up load the recipe and how the jam turns out. And I plan to gift my neighbor with a pint jar of jam in the hopes I might discuss with them there Nectarine and plums that seem to be falling off their fruit trees.

We shall see!

Just a slight word keep your eyes open for a lot of things at flea markets, garage and yard sales. Couple of weeks ago I was able to grab 2 military sleeping bags (and not the old mummy kind either) newer "black bag" sleeping bags for 20 bucks TOTAL! Coleman Lantern in the carrying case, 5 dollars just needed a couple of mantles.

A Rifleman's Creed

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will... My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit... My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will... Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace!
