More Canning and some Groundwork

Today we canned lots of peaches. We did about 20 boxes = 20 bushels of peaches. We did 4 boxes for us, 10 boxes for my aunt and 6 boxes for my aunts friend;) We started 7 this morning and got done around 3 this afternoon. We helped clean up my aunt's house because she is expecting a baby in two weeks;) They have 8 children already so this will be the 9th. My mom's side of the family has big families LOL but I don't mind. It makes for great family reunions:) My mom has 9 brothers and sisters her being the 10th. I love big families.

Anyway enough about canning. We got home around 5 and I went right out to do some groundwork with Navajo. He was in all day because they were calling for heavy thunderstorms earlier today. I lunged him for a bit and he did quite well. I then got him to walk nicely beside me without me using voice commands. He is doing better at stopping and going when I stop and go. I also did some backing with him and he is also getting more confident with that. I am hoping to do more indepth groundwork tomorrow evening but I guess we will see.

I have some wash I need to do in the morning and tomorrow school starts for Rose Mary and Rachel (we homeschool for those who don't know). I graduated Penn Foster High School in February 09. Penn Foster High School is a do it at home at your own pace kind of school. You can finish high school in as little as 3 years and get your accredited high school diploma. I really enjoyed it. Here is the web address for those who want to check it out: http://pennfoster.edu/diploma/index.html .I am trying to learn some Spanish with a program which is called Onlingo. It is all on cd. I am working at it but not getting far:( Since school is starting I don't know how much computer time I will get besides in the evenings and maybe a bit in the morning. We will see.

Below I have the web address of an expo I want to go to in February. I hope I can afford it and can go. Check it out: http://www.horseworldexpo.com/PAmain.htm ; http://www.horseworldexpo.com/PAfeatures.htm ;
