cupful? Why waste the space when
the berries are plentiful?
I rush into my kitchen, start
cooking, measure out my treasure
and wash the containers. As the last
bite of our noon hour repast is
consumed, I jump from my chair and
commence to wash the dishes. My
husband questions my rushing about,
to which I reply that I have to retum
to the berry patch. I can't let all those
berries go to waste!
He shakes his hcad, but I can see
my father saying: "The Lord helps
those who help themselves". Those
berries will taste so good next winter
whether I make jam, jelly, pies or use
them in shortcakes.
You're invited to drop by, but
please wait until berry season is past,
as well as the apple jelly time ... and
the blue plums have been all put up .
.. and the cranberries have been
picked and frozen. Then I'll serve
you homemade biscuits and jams.0

You could have Osteoporosis and
not even know it.
Osteoporosis strikes one in four
women and one in eight men over
50. It causes bones to weaken and
break leading to disability and the
loss of independence.
Knowing your risk factors and early
diagnosis can keep you from the
breaking point.
