Sassy Silver Sisters

Recently, a friend of mine went strawberry picking and made some jam with her bounty. My mom and mother-in-law make it too but instead of waiting for someone to share it with me, I decided to make it myself.  This is by far the easiest recipe to make strawberry jam without cooking the fruit. It's soft, spreadable, and delicious. My youngest grandson is in love with this strawberry jam. I guess I'll have to keep on making it.  I didn't go berry picking because honestly, I'm not all about bending over for hours.  I picked up a couple of pounds of strawberries at my local grocery store and it worked out just fine.

We honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.   Originally known as Decoration Day, it became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many visit cemeteries or memorials, hold family gatherings, and participate in parades around this great land.  You can find the history here on History.com .  Veterans Day and Memorial Day both honor those who've served.

Is it enough to sing a song And deck a grave, and all year long Forget the brave who died that we Might keep our great land proud and free? Full service needs a greater toll That we who live give heart and soul To keep t
