(it was his mother's recipe). and for some reason he always wants apple pie for thanksgiving, but does not like his mother's recipe. i was done after that with canning. screw that !!! it is a labor of love to do all that and a hassle to clean it all up. these things never happen to lelo !!Best Wishes, Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18157664038809364935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434721.post-14469091067653530312009-09-23T09:52:27.293-07:002009-09-23T09:52:27.293-07:00OH NOOOOO!!! this makes me so sad!!

I live in WA though... so probably cost prohibitive. ;) I was feeling lucky that it happened before peach season was over, so I can still replace what I lost without much damage. I am guessing that the market guy I bought the peaches from will even have pity on me and give me a good deal. lol! I feel a bit crazy getting all done like that and then having to do more peaches... but whatever. I have reinforced shelving now. :)<br /><br />ValVal in the Rose Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891260349692305609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434721.post-38148642554753458942009-09-22T13:31:35.406-07:002009-09-22T13:31:35.406-07:00What the ****?

So it is in the fridge. I lost count after the first 20 rings... and decided to just keep shoveling. lol! But considering what it could have been...

All that hard work from the planning to the end result. I hope you are feeling better.. Luckily no one was hurt by falling jars or glass.
