My fingers were still clean enough to use the camera. I promise that that table did not stay white. It was eventually covered with bags of sugar and boxes of pectin and empty flats and plastic containers. We had to set up another table, because we didn&#8217;t have enough room for the jam!

In fact, they went AWOL on me and started riding their bicycles and tricycle all around me, while I was reminding them that I wanted to get done as soon as possible so that I could have some sleep last night and their help would be very much appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prayingmother\/3677032136\/\" title=\"Riding his Tricycle by prayingmother, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"492\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2663\/3677032136_47a05f98d3.jpg\" alt=\"Riding his Tricycle\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>G&#8217;tums is very proud that he can pedal his tricycle.
