What a beutiful story. Hinds Hospice cared for my DH, and thir care was so wonderful for us. I would like to have a piece of that pie!

Olychick, I had seen the piece on Eric's Heros a year or so ago, and when this came up again this week I was afraid it meant we had lost her. What a lovely, gracious lady and generous in every sense.

Sadly, that did prove to be the case and her services this week. At 98, all who loved her will be saying their final goodbyes tomorrow. I wish I could have known her.

Oh, Morz8, that's sad to hear. I wonder if that's why her story showed up on my FB page? She was a gem.

My grand daughter helped me make the frozen Apriums from last year. We processed 11 jars, which was a learning something new for her.

Bragu, I have threatened to can hamburger, but haven't found a way that doesn't make it kind of "mushy". No one else seems to mind, just me, so maybe it's just me. I'm thinking of trying to can a chili sauce with ground beef, to top chili dogs.

Kate, it's always better to can when you have help, and a lot more fun!

Nothing much being canned here, but asparagus should be coming up in the next month or so and then it'll start.

MY Caretaker helped me put in the peas, lettuces, a tomato, cucumbers parsely, and a Lunchbox Pepper plant I guess the cooler temps have them being happy with the cooler temps. but, the temps will go higher sooner and all the peas and lettuces will be gone. The Tomato, cucumbers and pepper won't mind the heat a bit.

I managed to buy some early plants because I was late getting all started earlier. I don't know how well they will all do , but its sort of an experiment.

We're expecting some 30*s this week, so I have to hold off another couple of weeks. We kinda figure tax day is safe.
