ReplyDeleteYou're doing what we all SHOULD be doing on a regular basis. Being appreciative of the bounty that surrounds us. Thanks for these continual reminders which I enjoy so much! In doing so, you're putting out such good vibes . . . which will come right back atcha!!
ReplyDeleteoooh oooh, I saw #67! Did you get the All-American? Didn't you have a different kind? Don't you LOVE it???! Lovely list, as always!
ReplyDeleteMama Tea- Hehe! I always knew you were a quirky farm girl (in a good way, of course)! Orange juice, for most of us, is an enemy to pregnant women. Talk about heart burn! However, I'll never forget that first glass after each baby. Delightful! :)
ReplyDeleteMama Pea- I'm glad you're enjoying these posts. I am too! They are changing the way I think. Now, I'm looking for things to be thankful for, and ways to be thankful in less than ideal situations. It's really fun. :)
Erin- I actually have two of them, but didn't know what they were until your posts. They're old with the labels almost entirely worn off, one was my grandmother's when she was a young wife, and it's still going strong. It's really tiny and handy for small batches. The other was given to us by a friend of my husbands. I could faintly read the last part of the word American on the label, and "Manitowoc, WI"! I knew they were awesome, I just didn't know what kind they were! I had to use both the large All American and the Presto when canning chicken on Saturday. The presto was giving me such a hard time, not sealing properly and leaking steam. I was so proud of the All American! No trouble, holds steady pressure with less adjusting of the flame, easy to use. You made a great choice! :)
