I'm still catching up on blogging....
Blame it on my age, (I'm turning 26 in September, ACK!) blame it on my highly revered position as Chris' wife, blame it on the pregnancy, whatever it may be, I was determined to start canning this year. My mother always canned while I was growing up. She'd slave away for days on end canning jam, peaches, pears, dilly beans, tomatoes, applesauce, green beans, you name it!!!! Not only was it cheaper but the quality of food was better, as much of what she canned came straight from our garden. I'm very fortunate to live in an area where berries are in abundance during the summer and this year I really wanted to take advantage of this treasure by canning some jam. My mother eagerly agreed to join me on this endeavor and we had such a great time doing it too. These are the moments in life that you live for. Thank you mom for embodying and modeling such beautiful characteristics and thank you Chris for capturing an event that I'll cherish for the rest of my life.
