But hey having 82% alcohol those pears may have a little kick when you serve them up! I remember Rexall drugstores as I grew up in Southern California. I just Love all your house & sheep pictures.

I inherited it when I married my husband who had a 75 acre farm with a very nice 1928 Prairie style house in original condition. As a bachelor, my mother-in-law used this house as a dumping ground for all of her unwanted household stuff. How nice is that? Hence the bottle......which she said was the remedy forAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-469834802081457113.post-59952590573051322492013-10-11T12:38:14.519-05:002013-10-11T12:38:14.519-05:00Let me know how the mint pears turn out.

When hubs brings in one more arm full of tomatoes I give them away....Sew done, because sewing has moved back to the top of my list. I was glad to box up all the canning supplies and move them down to the storage area for another year. I always tell the hubs if he gets a deer I will move them back up to try my hand at canningBrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431119683829319380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-469834802081457113.post-45778624756730170922013-10-11T05:14:15.172-05:002013-10-11T05:14:15.172-05:00Glad to read I'm not alone as I began turning ...Glad to read I'm not alone as I began turning a bushel of grapes into jelly yesterday...needless to say there was juice on the counter, floor, stove...you name it.
