Thanks! Checked my notes and I got this stubborn sucker back in 8/19/11! I'm not good at waiting but I hope it's worth the wait when it finally does bloom. :) -Robert

I thought the video was very well done. But I'm not seeing the same problems you all do. At the 1:03 mark on the video she clearly says (paraphrasing here) "you want to keep in mind that different foods require different canning methods and recipes." At the 3:03 mark she states clearly when to add lemon juice and how much to add to pint and quart jars. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong video. Dunno. Val

My DDIL's mother would love that puzzle. I'm not a fan of Elvis, but she loves him and listens to his music all the time. I think that puzzle wouldn't be as hard if you could concentrate on the colors and shapes of the pieces, but those little faces would drive me nuts .

I decided to return the olive bag with tortoise handles from FV; it just looked cheap. When I was submitting the return on line, they offered me a deal. If I plowed back my refund into another purchase, they would give me an extra $60 to shop with on their site. The only thing I really liked was this dress, which is not for me. I wanted to buy it for DD1, the repository for all my sartorial dashed hopes, but held back. It was only about 2/3rd as much as the total credit they offered, so I'd have had to find something else to buy, too...Pretty effective device, though! Certainly got me thinking! https://francesvalentine.com/products/diplomat-mini-dress-sleeveless-solid-dupioni-poly-dupion-navy
