As I said in my list of 2018 ribbons won, sometimes you're the mop,
sometimes you're the floor. In 2017, I was the floor. Last year (2018
competitions) I was the mop. This year I was the mop!! Yeay!! Seven
blue ribbons and the plaque for being the best canner for the ninth
time since it has been awarded. Life has changed here and I am pleased
with the results. The list:

First Place Blue Ribbons
Raspberry Jelly
Spiced Lemony Blueberry Jam
Raspberry Jam
Strawberry Jam
Bean Pickles *
Chili Sauce
Cherry-Rhubarb Jam

*The Bean Pickles also received a Sweepstakes ribbon for Best of Show
of all the various pickle types. It is the first year purple ribbons
have been awarded for canning.

Second Place Ribbon
Crab Apple Jelly

Third Place Ribbons
Plum Jelly
Bread & Butter Pickles
Watermelon Pickles

Fourth Place Ribbon
Cherry Jelly
Rhubarb Jam

Thirteen ribbons for 20 entries is good and I am happy with the
results. I didn't enter stewed tomatoes or tomato juice this year
because the tomatoes are late!! And I now have a bunch of them to deal
with. I may put up more stewed tomatoes for my shelves because they
are so versatile.

Thanks for your indulgence.
