yep, I got young'ens....and I hope one day they'll be interested in 'all
this' that I'm doing (I know Holly, 8, really likes my latest Cherry Jelly).
Y'know, neither of my grandmothers were big on preserving, which surprises
me, because they both lived a frugal life.

Anyway, one Grandmother still enjoys life to her fullest, at 92, and I give
her some of everything I put up every year, and she, in turn, shares it with
the folks that live with her in the 'retirement home' that she lives in.
I'm proud. She's proud. Life is good.
