    Yea i think someone decided to end there canning years, because the cashier said that they have sold 15 boxes of jars and that was 3rd pot that sold today ,so i left my name and number and mention if they had any more back there to please call me. It did come from a very old lady that died and they had 3 hual trucks full of her stuff they unloaded, I would love to be a fly on the wall just to see what she had.

    Nana, you have canned before I seem to remember,right?? Do you know to put dish soap on the edges for bubbles that show chips and stuff?? Don't can much anymore but DGm used can about everything. You prob. know anyway. Have fun. You must have nicer peope at S.A. they would never take a number. Start checking out Estatesales.net Go to your area section and sign up. They will post to your e-mail current sales. This is a phenomenal place to get stuff like this. The faimliy wants it GONE by the last day. They are usually trying to clear to sell the house.
