Lots of Green Beans!

Timing is everything! It is amazing how things worked out yesterday for me. First of all my plan was to get up this morning, go to Kenny and Evie's and pick the rest of their green beans and freeze them. Well Kenny called me last night around 6:30pm and said that he got home from work early yesterday and picked all of the green beans for me. I got there and he had what he thinks is 3 bushel of green beans, he had two heaping boxes full of them. I was thinking well this is great, the beans are picked I can snap them and freeze them Friday (today).
Then I got smart...the youth group was already planning on coming over to work on Sunday's service on San Jose...soooo I put them to work!!! There were 9 of us snapping these green beans and it got done really fast! Then Amanda stayed until 11pm helping me blanch them and seal them in bags to freeze. So I am done!! Just in time too, because I woke up with a head cold this morning. I don't even want to think about how long it would have taken me to do all those green beans by myself!

So thanks to our wonderful youth group!!!
