Yesterday, Meg informed me that she and her friend wanted to can apple butter...and did I want to help? All of the canning supplies are here, so I thought I would just deliver them to Muncie and come back home. Well! It turns out that **I** am somehow the canning expert, and **they** really needed me.
Got to Muncie a little after 1:00 PM. Meg's friend never showed, so the two of us did the canning. We did 26 jars in two hours. It would not have taken so long if I had used a larger pan to boil the jars. In any case, I told Meg to write down the specifics so we will know, next year, approximately how many apples make enough butter to fill so many jars.
The TV/DVD combo that I bought for little Ryan for his birthday needed to go back to Wal-Mart. I bought the silly thing back in August in Plainfield for his November birthday. It went home to Muncie two weeks ago, only to discover that it didn't work. I asked the kids to bring it down over Thanksgiving, but their car space was too limited....so when I was up in Muncie today, we decided to take it back to the Muncie Wal-Mart. (I had the receipt.) I missed the 90-day return policy by about 7 days, but the fellow at Customer Service allowed us to exchange it, anyway. Hooray! The new one seems to work, so Ryan is happy. (He didn't want us to take his TV away. I told him we were going to get him a new one. He didn't WANT a new one. He wanted THAT one. So we told him that we were taking it to get it fixed. He never knew the difference.)
I came home amid quite a bit of traffic. Colts game. Last day of Thanksgiving holiday. Sunday home-commute. Still, I got home in good time and safely. The dog, who ate a big turkey drumstick behind my back today, was glad to see me. (I turned my back on the drumstick for just a few minutes. Silly me!)
Back to the humdrum tomorrow. I had a very nice Thanksgiving holiday. Hope everyone else did, too.
