Dexcom G4 Platinum:)

Dexcom G4 Platinum

 

We just received our Dexcom 7 plus order a few weeks ago. Our year warranty had ran out and it was time to order our new one. I found out today that the Dexcom G4 had been approved so I called Dexcom. They will be shipping us out the new Dexcom G4 (the blue one) in Dec. as a free upgrade-so thankful for this improved Continuous Glucose Monitor! All we need to do is change our order from the Seven plus sensors to the G4 Platinum sensors in Dec.   :)     

God is so good!!

How To Can Mustard Greens

This is how I can mustard greens.

I pick a few bags of mustard greens from the garden. The sink above has one bag of mustard greens in it.

 I wash and drain them.

 I then wilt the mustard greens so that they fit into the jars better.

 I remove the mustard greens from the hot water.

 I place the mustard greens into quart jars. I then add 1 tsp. of salt to each jar and fill with water. I also put the lids and rings onto the jars.

I then place the jars into the prepared canner.

I process them on ten pounds of pressure for one and a half hours.

I remove the jars from the canner, let them cool and wash them off. I let them sit for twenty four hours and remove the rings. Then I place them in the pantry. :)

The process from picking them to removing them from the canner takes atleast five hours.

 

I thank the Lord for his many blessings :)

Omnipod and Dexcom Shipments :)

 I am always so thankful to receive these diabetes supplies for Isaac. Every three months we get new shipments of Isaac's Omnipod Insulin Pumps(50) and his Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitor Sensors(16)..this time he also got a new Dexcom CGM System since the warranty ran out on his old one. This is the first time that we have gotten the protective barrier and adhesive remover wipes.
I am so thankful for my husband's insurance and the ability to purchase these tools that make living with type 1 diabetes alittle easier!
Thank God for INSULIN and all of his many blessings :)

Making Homemade Chili for supper

I made chili for supper this evening.

 I add navy beans, kidney beans and our garden canned tomatoes to my slow cooker.

 I brown our home grown beef :) (sometimes I use venison, elk or bear) and add chopped bell peppers/onions and spices.

Then I add the meat mixture to the bean mixture in our slow cooker and let simmer for a few hours. I usually serve this with shredded cheddar cheese and crackers or cornbread.

Making Apple Pie :)

I made an apple pie this evening.

The apple pie with the bottom crust and filling.

The pie with the top crust added and air vents :)

I tore the dough while removing it from the roller to place on the pie!! It makes it kind of ugly....

~I was in a hurry...lol~

Ready to be baked.

 

Fresh from the oven.

            Still warm and ready to served with ice cream...
