happy birthday george!

for those of us of a certain age, this used to be a holiday because it was the birthday of the father of our country.  not so anymore and i'm wondering how many school children don't even know that today is george's real birthday (sigh)...anyway, no sewing today because it's spring in maine.  right now it's a balmy 55 degrees and the sun is shining.  just returned from a drive to stonewall kitchen to pick up a jar or two of jam; a perfect day for a leisurely sojourn down coastal route #1.  if you haven't been there, it's mostly a touristy grazing place...plenty to taste and all things kitchen related.  it's strategically located at the very first tollbooth, so that gives you an idea of what'll happen if you stop there.  and the very best news?  they have re-introduced pink grapefruit marmalade, so naturally i got a jar.  i am not a serious jam fan, but once in a while i indulge.  i used to make jam but the last time i did, most of it sat in the cupboard for years, so no longer.  1-2 jars now and then suffice.
