Ethel again

With all the traveling we've been doing I hadn't been over to Ethel's for over a month so I popped in on Friday. Her kitchen, not large to begin with, was so crowded I could barely walk through. Plants cover one whole wall;large ones on the floor and smaller ones on tall stands or hanging in the window. A second wall is taken up with a large china cabinet, well packed. The kitchen table, which is pushed up against the plant wall and china cabinet wall, had only enough room to put the three loaves of bread she was just removing from the oven. The rest of it, as well as the counters, were covered with jars of freshly canned produce. Though most of it was salsa, both in pints and quarts, there was also a variety of fruits and pickles. She admitted to being so busy that she hadn't had time to make her bed. This woman is 92!! She had stacks of craft mags in the living room and several finished 'plastic canvas' projects neatly placed in ziplocs. She also does needle point and likes nature crafts. While I was there, someone brought her another bushel of tomatoes and she was delighted!

It's so inspiring to know that Wonder Woman lives five doors down....
