At 40, you think the years are adding up, at 50 you think of the things you are planning.

At 60, time speeds up and a month feels like a week, but there is still time to make plans.

Once you pass 70, forget the plans, just look for the days you lost.

A month is about 2 days long.

Nope, I am not getting senile, when I was 40, a friend told me time would speed up, when I got older........and Mary always told the truth.

There is a lot to learn about canning, but it is one of the best lessons that you will get.

I signed up for the local Yahoo group of Free Cycle, the members have asked for canning jars and are getting them, as I see the thank you posts........getting them for free.

It isn’t something that I can take part in, as I have no way to go and pick up the items that would interest me, but it is fun and heart warming to see folks giving to each other.

I have in the past advertised for used jars and gotten them at a price I could afford.

Even here, where there are almost no gardens, there have been offers of free fruit in the Free Cycle group.

The Free Cycle groups are now active around the world.

When we lived in Portland Oregon, I advertised in the paper that I would pick up windfalls and made a lot of applesauce from them...

Food is out there, if one is creative in finding it.
