As I mentioned when I went back to Indiana for the weekend, my parents came to Portland - I was home on Sunday night and walking into my kitchen was a great big surprise when I saw the shelves filled with canned tomatoes and apples.  We had tomato sauce, canned whole tomato's, salsa, apples and apple sauce.  A dream come true - well sort of since I didn't actually do any of the canning.  Good thing my folks got me that canning kit for my birthday last year.  It came in handy for my mom while she was at the house on Sunday!  I really really appreciated all of her hard work.  and now I'll need to do a lot of cooking and baking this year!
