I started working on the pears yesterday afternoon.  It was a very late start because of a long morning.  Jess had the school day off so she went to the movies, I had to take Tommy to work, and I came home to make bread.  Might as well make some cookies too so I threw those in to bake.  Just a round of sugar and thought I would do a batch of coffee/almond.  All came out thin and crispy, not fluffy like I had hoped.  That's o.k.  gives them something to snack on. 
I managed to get 19 pts of pears done.  I am so thankful and blessed to have two canners to get that many done in one shot.   I could have used another one or two but my burners wouldn't fit the pots I have.  I am thinking of asking the neighbor if I can pick a few more and make some juice since I didn't get out to get the grapes last week.  I can always mix it with other juices for a nice treat.
Today after the pears are done, I will probably start the potatoes.  Have to start on the 100# soon before we eat to many baked!
