Today was pickle making day again. We asked Grandma B over to help pack the sealers. The recipe came to me from her, copied in her hand, generous and complete in detail. She doesn't remember much about it any more but her deft hands pack the jars just as well as anyone's. She's always been tiny and she's getting smaller so that she doesn't come near to reaching K's shoulder. I thought the contrast of their two hands on the prettily packed pickles would be marked. I'm very surprised to see the difference isn't as pronounced as I'd guessed. Just two capable hands, one slender one, age 89, and one strong young one, age 23.
