Dear Mr. Canning Ring,
You need to tell me to where your buddies have disappeared. I know where you all lived in Holland. Neatly on your string, next to the mop and broom on the basement stairs wall.
But you forgot to send me your change of address card when we moved. There is only so many places a girl can look.
If you don't tell me soon, I will be forced to replace all of your buddies. There are berries to be picked, applesauce to be made, and peaches to can.
Sincerely,
The Food Processor
Dear Canning Jars,
Thank you for being easier to find than Mr. Canning Ring's brothers. However, you should really stick together and live all in the same neighborhood, preferably close to where you are needed. It was quite inconvenient to drag some of you in from the garage, some from the basement and some from the cupboard. Let's do better next time, mmk?
Sincerely,
The Food Processor
Dear Miss Canning Book,
Thank you for being available. I am glad that you were able to make it in time. You have been the standard, don't fail me now!
Sincerely,
The Food Processor

Um, this is SO not something I can handle. Girl, you are turning into the HomeFront Goddess in my eyes, what with all the sewing and the canning and whatnot. :)
ReplyDeleteoh no, that stinks!!
ReplyDeletemaybe you can scrounge some up at a garage sale, or at the farmers market? i've found tons of them at garage sales and stuff.
TeacherMommy, think of it as a way to express creativity in the everyday, because I don't have time to sit and be "creative." Found art ya know.
ReplyDeleteJen, oh I wish I had the luxury of garage sales...we rarely have them. A couple of weeks ago, there several in town but it was junk because the county is so poor.
cute post. hope you can find the tops soon. i so want to learn how to can some day.
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up!
ReplyDeleteI go to garage sales and see those big black kettle things for canning, but I get scared... it all seems so intimidating. And a lot of work.
