Jim brought home this lovely peach pie but I don't think I can face it even to this day after the great peach bumper crop circa maybe 1967. Anybody else feeling like they still can't really eat peach products? To this day I do not know where all those blasted peaches came from. I remember the bushels themselves and I remember the sugary remains that peach jam left behind anytime someone might accidentally be less-than-neat in a household of 6 kids!! But it's kind of fun thinking about something summery here in December.
Now that I see how the picture looks, it reminds me of the New Year's Eve ball in NYC. Happy 2009. Let's let the ball drop :)

How could any of us forget the Great Bumper Crop of Peaches!? I still don't eat many peaches, but you know, I could actually go for some of Mom's homemade peach jam right now... It's been a long time.
I remember the bushels lining the wall in the garage. I thought they would never be gone. I have a slight memory of picking peaches with Dad. It was at an orchard right near the Birdsees'(?)house.
Mom and Dad sure knew how to stretch a dollar. They must have been practically free!
Hope we all can do that in '09! Happy New Year to all!
