Everything is peachy-keen!

Summer done, summer still being processed..........in our TUMMY'S!!!

Gosh Ray, I think I'm busy that day!


Actually, it would be an honor to have you here. You two come see us and we'll break out a bottle! (ooh, that sounds kinda questionable, eh?) If I had only known that I could get company so easily.......

Doris: I think you are just a Pech of a lady!!

And Deb, this is from Letters Grandma wrote to H. Ray in France.

"I have been sewing and canning tomatoes. I now have 43 qts. and can pick a half bushel or so this evening." . . . . "I canned tomatoes again today. I now have nearly a hundred quarts and there are several more. I made four bottles of catsup yesterday" . . . . . "I have two bushel of grapes to do up tomorrow. I will make some tomato butter too. I made catsup already." . . . ."

You have some catching up to do. And oh, by the way, did I tell you she did all of that while pregnant? And taking care of 9 kids, cooking cleaning etc. And writing to H. Ray once a week.

Oh how quickly you forget,Tom! I ran my marathon already. I did my time with 8 or 9 kids and literally 100's and 100's of quarts of everything we grew AND bought. Freezing was in there, too. Who did you think you were talking to? (actually I enjoy hearing the connections to then and now, multiple generations. I don't think our kids will be reading our old emails though....pity....)
