She's an artist, she has all that stuff, she just thinks that at age 76
she can remember what is what. I asked her one day "What is this?" Oh,
that's tomato soup, it was leftover chili.

I really need the space in the big freezer that she has cluttered with
her "I have to save this" stuff. She is the middle child of five,
they're always hoarding food. VBG

I took a college course forty years ago in preserving food, just for the
hell of it plus I needed three credits more to graduate. It was really
good to learn all that stuff. I've been putting up my own food starting
at my mother's knee. Even got the little paper that says I can do that. <G>

My favorite is jams, jellies, sauces, etc. At least all the grands and
great grands love it.

George, off to bed after a very long day of watching it rain, plus
napping with Tilly.
