MORE ABOUT PEARS, FRONT DOOR & NEW HAIRCUT

September 23, 2013
By Olivene Godfrey

Barry and I, and Tam are still admiring our elegant new white front door.  And Barry daydreams about sitting on the front porch and sipping mint juleps while a breeze from the mountain wafts down.  Ha!

Seriously, the door was perfectly installed and a strong, windy storm on Saturday tested its durability.  I do think we will enjoy the porch now.  It was so difficult to open the old door, we seldom used it.

I told you last week that our friends Kym and her mother Peggy made pear preserves, using pears from our tree.  Kym brought a jar to work last week and when Barry brought it home, I ate some of the preserves in a roll and they're delicious.

Speaking of pears, Barry looked on the web for Braswell pear preserves.  They are still being produced by the company, using fresh Georgia pears that are harvested at their peak ripeness during late August and September, since 1946.  There is an interesting article about their company on the Internet.

Barry discovered that both Amazon and Walmart sell the Braswell pear preserves.  They are expensive with the lowest price at Amazon.  He ordered a jar for me and it has already arrived.  Barry told me I'd have to make it last until Christmas when he would buy me another jar.

Tam drove me to Dalton a few days ago so I could have her daughter, Carrie, give me a much needed haircut and set.  Now my hair not only looks great, but it is easier for me to care for.

The air quality was bad that day and I forgot to wear a mask, and had an allergy attack that night.  The ragweed is everywhere and we're hoping the torrential rain we had Saturday will give us some relief.

See you next time.  Comments welcome.  (As told to Tam)
