Canning

Amanda and I share a birthday week.  This year we celebrated our 80th birthday.  I gave her some mittens I knitted for her and we spent a sunny fall day canning.  It was actually really fun and we were really proud of our creations.  Also, canning appears to be an extreme sport for us.  There was a lot of shouting, jumping around, and even some cursing... who knew?

 Amanda makes canning both dangerous and sexy.

Pickles, pickled garlic, and our favorite... Bloody Mary accoutrement. That means garnish.
