70914It is so nice to know there are people like you still around. My daughter(the oldest) does a lot of canning & freezing & making jams, jellies & pickles. That's how it was when I grew up. the men hunted & fished, grand dad farmed & the women worked in the home. Families were so much closer in those days. You, are tops in my book *
