Good job on your fiver!

I haven’t don’t any canning since the summer my Favorite Son enlisted in the army way back when, though I have a niece in Idaho (one of several in that state) who is the canning queen. She has it organized and regulated like an assembly line, and her work is excellent. I don’t know what she uses though, to process the batches. State of the art, no doubt.

This same son could put a meal on the table for a family of four and have everything hot (or cold, as the case may be) when he was 14, so kitchen duty is fun to him, even after all these years. His wife cooks, he cleans up. He cooks, he still cleans up.

Yeah, that inner voice has never failed me. I’ve failed to listen a time or two, but paid for it dearly. So I listen, these days.

Nobody in this clan wants to do the clean up.

Except for my mother.

I have to admit it is not my favorite job either. But if I have to do so do they. :)
