After years of painting, and probably 30 years of non use, the cords rotted away and the layers of paint won't ever let them open. We priced it once, about $15,000 to redo them all. Um, NO.....ha. <br /><br />That's why we are so excited about having the farmhouse where we can open the windows and let the breeze blow in!<br /><br />Dilly beans? Sounds great!

However, with over 40 windows in the house, it's just not in the budget any time soon.<br /><br />I did think of you this afternoon. A friend from California is in town and he asked me if I had made any "dilly beans" lately, the only "canning" I do. I haven't made them in years since that was something I did with my mother, and well....... but I did promise to make him some :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904220055397364826noreply@blogger.com
