FH, I'm sure MT pres. will have passed it along 'to the top'. It seems to me our state and national CW groups work extremely well together......always have, anyway. They sure do stretch our checkoff $$$$ with the volunteer work. Thanks for your comments. I've not been directly involved for several years, having 'burned out a bit', and just plain feeling age to exent I'm focusing more on easy stuff which doesn't require the physical effort. A grand dau. in law is at SD State Fair right now, which brings back memories of the time spent there in my 'active years' in CW. Really busy times and I always thought had good value for time and money compared to people reached....and still does. Our gal is a 4-H coordinator, so life is lively for her this week!. I would like to go see how it all has changed.......maybe next year!


Re. "mountains of molehills" comment....could it be guilty feelings for our abundance.....after so few of us do the work of production (from conception to the package of all foods) that the multitudes fed so well feel a bit guilty?


Having somewhat foolishly invested in three dozen ears of sweet corn, it took a LOT of effort to process that for the freezer. It was satisfying that along with giving sharing a half dozen ears with neighbors, and eating a few, there were about 8 packages with 3 to 4 cups in each to put in the freezer. Needing to keep a foot at least somewhat elevated while doing that chore is a real challenge in my tiny kitchen. We sure will appreciate it next winter, tho. I'm missing having a grand daughter available. Last year the eldest one, age 24, spent a month helping me after knee replacement and put up lots of corn and yellow squash. She would process bushels of that stuff!! Never say anyone who enjoys so pretty plain and simple, sort of stir fried with a drizzle of cheese over it. /we feared that wouldn't be so good with frozen squash, but frying it and stirring carefully to evaporate the moisture makes it work well, and it doesn't take much butter, either, so is a 'healthful' fried food.
