On Monday last week we had Jean over to help us with cleaning all the mason jars that Mom got for canning. The Lord blessed us with 35 dozen quarts, pints and half-pint jars... For a fair price, but lots of elbow grease.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Hahahhha....these are SO good, Olivia! I'm very thankful for pictures of Anna and I working, because I wanted some, but couldn't take any, as you well know. I LOVE the ones of Anna and I....okay, okay.
#5? AAH! I really, REALLY would like to have that one, could you send it to me...I want to print it out. I LOVE IT! :D
All of your ones of Daffodil, she looks so relaxed. :) Nice.
I LOVE the assembly line!!! Those are favorites too. You can really see how wet the front of my pants were from soaking myself accidentally with the hose. Thank you for taking those! They are great, and all three put together really show how we did it! :D
Um, I think you stole my fire pit pic. Hahaha.
You and I...that's a sweet one.
Your 3rd and 5th picture of the jars are really good! I love the look of the sheet through the 5th one, and the closeup of the 3rd.
And- you stole my line about Anna. But I forgive you, because I love you oceans, and I think it is hilarious that you can see me in the pyro pic on the trampoline trying to get a shot in between jumping. HA HAH HAHAHA!!!! :D
Love you, Olivia.
Thanks for the pics!
