We all had certain jobs, girls more inside, boys outside. It was always
a treat when I got to break from the inside jobs and do something like
burn the trash, a job usually reserved for my older brother. Summertime
meant helping mom prep veggies for canning--tho I never went beyond that
at home, I picked up enough of a knowledge of it that I've done well in
my canning over the years.
