October 9, 1963
Wednesday. Nice day cool 55. I ironed and canned tomatoes. Carol went home with Linda Kinglsey. I wrote to Marilyn.
Comment: Mom did a lot of canning of tomatoes, sweet corn, beef and pork. We also used to put large hams in large earthen jars filled with brine. All of this was placed in the cellar which was a particularly scary place for us kids. The ceiling was very low and it had a damp, dank smell. It was also not very pretty as this picture will attest. These are the steps leading to the cellar with old canning jars on the right...
