Frankenmuth Auto Fest, Apple Pie Jam, and The Missing Car Ride!

 

We went to the Frankenmuth Auto Fest this past weekend and we had a great time.   As we were leaving,  Auto Value gave us all this free stuff, tshirts, hats, umbrellas, tire gauges, two gallons of rain x windshield washer fluid plus more!  It's too much to list!  So fun!

It's good to take a break from work around the home but I knew I needed to get busy on Wednesday and do something with the apples husband bought a couple of weeks ago.  This apple peeler corer makes my life so much easier in the Fall.

In just a few minutes I had enough apples to make 5 pints apple pie jam.  The chickens loved the peelings.

The days have grown shorter and the gas is much higher so our rides in the car have now gone down to 1 instead of 2 a day.  Usually in the morning it's all the errands and the evening one was for pleasure. So now we just have one a day so we make sure we go around the block.  The temp is about 60 degrees in the morning and goes down below that at night so it's about too cool for a bike ride but we might try it soon.  Frost is just around the corner.

 

 As of the last time we went out gas was $4.99 a gallon on average here well except for the new Amoco gas station just down the road  who has a little lower gas price. Hey, we got some.  How much is it in your area?

That's all I have for this week...I hope you are having a good week.
