Morning June,
Love your stories.
You made me hungry with all the stories about stone jars and pop corn balls,
it all sound so healthy too. No white sugar in the any of the sweets.

I have a couple of the juice can stools I found somewhere. One is cover
with fabric but the other is cover with rolls up paper and glue to the
surface. If I remember right this was in the sixties that was done. You
rolled old magazine or catalog pages on pencil and then glue the rolled up
tubes to what ever you wanted to cover. I think I may have done a trash can
at the time.

Keep the splinters from your bottom.

Betty BB
