The 20th Annual Schaller Ribbon Report
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Wait, that was
LAST year!! THIS was a good year! I am happy. Of 19 entries at the Great Minnesota Get-Together, our state fair, opening today and continuing until Labor Day, I have 7 blue ribbons, two second place, and three thirds. I will not receive the plaque for being better at it than anyone else (there's a relative newcomer in town who kicked a** with 11 first place ribbons) and I'm really happy with 7 blues! W00t! So, the blues were for Blackberry Jelly Cherry Jelly Raspberry Jelly Nectarine Jam Strawberry Jam Apricot Butter Stewed Tomatoes Second place for Peach Jam Watermelon Pickles Third place for Strawberry Jelly Apricot Jam Cherry Jam AND the Mrs. Wages (preserving products) Blue Ribbon Award for Best in Show for Jellies and Jams. Life has been hard on me the last year -- sibling deaths, good friend death, declining health of my brother, etc. But, hey, I Am Woman! Hear me roar! ;-) -- -- Barb www.barbschaller.com, last update April 2013 |

I've done a little preserving this year but not nearly as much as when we had the much larger garden and mature fruit trees. Let us hear from you more often. George |

We'll get Tanya Harding to fix that situation for you next year. Meantime, congrats on a great showing. > Life has been hard on me the last year -- sibling deaths, good friend > death, declining health of my brother, etc. But, hey, I Am Woman!
