OMG, Karla! I wish we could share a tomato sandwich at this very moment. I have just come home from canning 210 pounds of tomatoes w/ six other women in Frederick, Md. We processed 49 quarts. It was a very good day.

What a thrill of a lifetime; canning with 6 other women in Frederick. I am all a'flutter thinking of you there. Can't wait to see any photos and the take-aways.
