hi tin... thanks for the good words about my canning....back when i learned all that it was necessity...we were stretching the almighty dollar as far as it would go and everylittle thing helped lol....
i was with my dad constantly when i was growing up...i think it broke his heart in a way when i started to become a girl but we worked together good and had many projects together even after i got married....i wish he was here today....many things i would like to discuss with him...maybe cry on his shoulder a little at times...i need comforting now and then cant seem to get much from the kids.
as far as son and son i n law and respect...that is the trouble i have done things my way for so long without help now they think i cant think either lol...but their thoughts are...."if i have to do the work i want to do it my way or the highway"....could be that is way men think i have no idea lol......Sassy
