This Makes Me Happy...

...four bottles of homemade strawberry freezer jam.  Most things in my life are not homemade.  I love our modern conveniences, but there is something in me that has a nostalgia about a time that I never lived in.  When I make jam or banana bread or baking powder biscuits I feel a connection to the homemakers of days gone by.  I even bought a cute apron from anthropologie to tie around my waist when I am feeling especially June Cleaver-ish.  Unfortunately, the apron doesn't always work...pasta still comes from a box and the cream soups still come from a can.  BUT, Shelby will have fabulous jam to go with her peanut butter sandwiches made from my own two hands.  Go June!
