The last time I was at work, a lady that I work with brought in a ton of plums from her backyard, and they were delicious! So, at the end of the shift when there were still a bunch left I offered to take them home...to make jam...like I have time for that! I googled plum jam and got this (7 1/2 cups sugar?!), this (is that even a recipe?), this (funny!), and this (the recipe I finally ended up using). My mom and her friend Carol were also busy looking for a recipe I could use...thank you both :0)
Making the jam was easier than finding a recipe, and Kate was very cooperative and napped while I was making it this morning! The recipe I ended up using only called for a cup of honey or sugar so it isn't sticky sweet, and I just had some on an English muffin and it is delicious, if I do say so myself! If you have any plums just lying around I highly recommend making some!
You might remember the last time that I showed Kate wearing these boots... I thought she was such a big girl then, look at her now!! 
Last time we took a picture of these two head to head was back in March...see here.
Here's the Joder pack...Cesar would be proud. I'm talking about Cesar Milan the Dog Whisperer...not Julius. Marc and I were introduced to Cesar by Marc's dad shortly before we got Indy and have been reading his books and watching his show for instruction for a while now. He talks a lot about energy (that we as humans give off) and dogs being pack animals and needing a leader. So, we try to lead him the best we can, and we are all a pack. Indy still has some annoying habits that we are working on, but overall he is a great dog, so we think Cesar rocks!
