it would be nice if EVERYONE could be included in the canning day event…
but those of us who do not do face book can’t. Not everyone does face book.
Is there another way to be able to join in the fun? Hope so, if not, you may want
to consider that for the future.
thanks!
Always check out the recipes. Have found some great ones!
