Not Done Yet

So far, I've canned 22 quarts and 3 pints of salsa.  I think I might do one more batch in the next couple of weeks and call it good.  A couple of weeks ago I didn't a batch, 7 pints, of garlic dill pickles.   I want to can applesauce this year too.  The kids go through it like crazy and Lloyd's parents have an apple tree that's producing a ton fruit.  I never thought I'd enjoy canning so much but I really do!  I feel like I'm getting better, more efficient at it.  Last year, I did two batches of salsa and they both seemed to take forever and I went through every kitchen towel in the house.  This year, I didn't need so many absorbents and the whole process was so much easier.  I've been looking through recipes and thinking about what else I might like to try.  In a couple of weeks, my mother-in-law is going to come over and help me can some beef.  I've never pressure canned before and I want someone with experience here with me when I do it for the first time.
