*pout*

so..why are there no bases on PEI????? That is where i want to live. I want to move to PEI and live in a sweet old house on a few acres, with maybe some fruit trees, and a pond, and be close to the ocean. I want to be able to lounge in a hammock in my garden on the island while reading my Anne of Green Gables. I want to can fruit that i grow. I want to stitch quilts by a fire place, i want to wear long skirts and maybe keep chickens..... Id still love Facebook, and my Laptop, and my ceramic cooktop stove.....digital cable...three ply quilted toilet paper....and would so get in-line water heaters..... but otherwise, i would bask in old fashioned simplicity....


Jay and i have discussed moving there when he retires...... I wish we could move there sooner....30 years is Far away!!

I was wandering around MLS, and found the most PERFECT house.. Near Victoria PEI...its over 4400 Sq Ft... it has 8 bedrooms, a mammoth family room, its on 20 acres, the house is over a hundred years old.....Its PERFECT. I want it!!!!

I hate that there are no bases to be posted to on PEI. i did find a cute little place near Gagetown, but i dont think we will be posted there.... There are so Wicked, CHEAP houses on the East Coast. Some look like they could be haunted, and i dont like them, but there are some quaint little century old farm houses that i just Love.

One day, Some day, I shall live on PEI, and tend a garden, and keep a few laying hens, and such.....for now,ill just have to do my canning, and quilting and gardening here in my PMQ.




Speaking of canning, i made 24 jars of home made Wild Berry jam. I had to use frozen berries >.< but i did turn out Very YUMMY!!! Mmmmmmm its so good! I have to start picking up jars and pectin so that come June, i will have all but the fruit paid for when Berry season comes. Im getting my mother to also teach me Pickles. Im sure I could figure it out...its just different then the Strawberry, Wild Berry, and Peach Jams Ive made, or the Peach Sauce, Apple Sauce, Apple Cranberry preserves, or the Cherry Blueberry Sauce...... Ive mastered my Fruit Jams and Sauces..... Id love to learn how to make Bread and Butter Pickles and Dills....id also like to learn Salsa and Chutney...but mom has something against canning tomatoes..... Id love to learn how to can tomatoes because we all go thru so much of them.... and in the fall at farmers markets you can find AMAZING deals on Veggies!

I Love canning preserves. Everyone loves my preserves- I just wish they ALL gave my jars back LMAO! Dee and my mom are the only ones who do..... I did 5 cases of jam the summer before last, and only have 2 cases worth of Jars.....mind you i donated a dozen jars of preserves to the kids school Bake Sale....The staff bought it all before they could even make it to the sale table.... i know 60 cents doesnt seem like alot per jar...but it adds up if i have to buy new jars all the time.

Anyhoo...... We are all looking forward to having Fresh jam tomorrow morning, and Im looking forward to the summer when i can do a shit load more canning!!!!! i LOVE it!
