Hi Ruth,

Sure, that would have been no fun at all.. instead of preparing for Christmas
dinner or graduation celebrations, you'd be tied up with doctors.. :( Can't
blame you at all, especially when we know there will be other picnics in coming
summers :)  Hopefully we'll see you at one of those!

Lol.. sorry no - but I wouldn't advise straight pins -  With my aim, I'd most
likely put my eye out or at least poke it Lol.  I've poked my eye with a
mascara brush before, and that's no fun (G).

Yeah, that could be rough.  Over here, I freeze veggies like greenbeans rather
than put them up.. tomatoes I do both ways depending on my energy level.  It's
easier for me to just parboil the beans quickly and stick them in the freezer.
Sugar snap peas we eat "right then" since you can't beat the taste of fresh
sugar snap peas :)

Yes, that would be a good idea as well.

You sound like me Lol.. well, it's a good thing to do such when you have the
energy.. sure doesn't hurt :)

Take care,
Janis
