We be Jammin!

My mom and I made peach jam today. I had a 32 lb. box of peaches and at 1 p.m. today I decided to make jam. So I called my mom up to see if she could come help me. Needless to say she said "yes" and ran over. She is truely an amazing mom and I don't know how I can even measure up to her. So 3 hours later, many dirty pots, stinky floor, lots and lots of sugar, and 30 pint jars later we were done. Thank you mom for everything you do for me and for always being such a great example to me. Someday I hope to be just like you.Love you.
