It Can Be Hard to Let Go...

My sweet grandma (Baba) has been gone for 23 years now, but I still miss her and think of her often.  Some of my most precious possessions are things that I have (and use) that belonged to her.  One of those is my canning bath.  I'm not sure how old it is, but many of Baba's things were first her mother's, so it could easily be 100 years or more if that is the case.  But one of my goals is never to kill anyone off with my home canning, and the kettle is somewhat rusty, and sentiment shouldn't take precedence over safety in a situation like this.  So I bought a new one (not a significant investment at $20).  But the real issue became what to do with the old one, since throwing it away didn't feel good at all. 



I think it will be very happy in its new role in life......
