My Dad came for a visit last week. We barely kept up with him. In two long days, he managed to replace a broken window, fill lots of cracks, glaze the basement windows, hang pictures, fix half a dozen doors, install a range hood (we have light!), fix the electrical problem in the kitchen, give me a closet doorknob, fix the shutters, hang curtain rods, bandage my wounds, and probably several other, life-saving things that I'm somehow forgetting.

We bought summer treats at the farmer's market, like the exclusively grass-fed meat that he can't find in Michigan and lots of tomatoes. Last night I made tomato preserves with our leftovers. I'm sure that I overcooked it, but it was my first foray into canning (another Dad lesson), and now I know what not to do.

can't wait to visit that kitchen. good seeing a picture of your dad!
can your dad come to my house next!? so great to hear that he is doing so well...glad you had a good visit.
Canned tomatoes are outstanding! We just planted our heirlooms and can't wait for them to start bearing fruit. Please post, if you decided to can them. We'd love to see photographs. We have so many wonderful memories of canning days with our Nana! Love this idea!
