Piddling awards, I seem to remember much more blue and red ribbons in
years past. <G> Have you made a victory quilt for your ribbons yet?
Would be impressive hanging on the living room wall. Congratulations.

The biggest award I get with my canning hi jinks is hugs from the great
grands. I think that equals the top award anywhere. When you've got six
great grands that's a lot of hugs and we still have two grand daughters
and one grandson who haven't married yet. And one of the great grands
will be fifteen this year. We worry about her.

I am sure all you can see is the top of my head right now, as I am
bowing down in front of you.

Congratulations!
Probably could have easily been 18 out of 20 but, we all know you
sabotaged the PBDC so they wouldn't have a chance ;-).

Yeah, Miz Anne is politicking for BDC to be planted this fall. I only
eat the things when they're pickled, she eats them RAW and cooked plus
she likes the greens too. It must be the German blood from her father's
side or the fact that she was the middle child of six and had to fight
for her food. <G>
