@cowboy sam :Thank you. Well interesting. BIL gave me a card with $25. SIL gave me several things: 
Her reply: this is a different shape to put the pepper jelly in. Info on package : spice jars and other ideas: do not use for processing jelly.
These are pretty jars but the 8 ounce jars are too big to give people with pepper jelly. Especially when I am not physically able to garden and have to purchase all ingredients to make the jelly. I have told her several times. Thanks to her - in the last year she has now given me 4 cases of this size and I am running out of storage space. BIL stated: I thought you used the smaller jars for the peppers and I replied yes: because when I make a batch of jelly it takes 30 large jalapeรฑos and two bell peppers, water, sugar, vinegar and pectin. Plus using the 8 ounce jars would be 2 jars processed instead of 4 or 6 using the 4 ounce jars. Plus considering all the time and energy needed to make jelly. SIL laughing stated : Well people love your jelly and want bigger jars. I laughed and replied: Well- you just need to go to the store and purchase everything yourself and you make the jelly for everyone.She replied: I don't have the equipment: well then just buy whatever you need to make the jelly. SIL also gave me an Amazon gift card. I just have to accept this but they really don't have the money to do things like this. Sad because next week : She will probably be asking her brother money to pay utility bills or whatever. Just crazy.
Please understand: I try to appreciate any gift. I don't understand but her children sent extra gifts and in our 20 years of marriage this has never happened before: one was a large gift bag full of office supplies. Another gift bag with a beautiful throw monogrammed : " Pam's Chair " for my chair in the family room.
SIL came back over yesterday to play board games and wanted more cake and ice cream. I had extra gallon of tea for her to take home. I didn't give her any cake to take home because about two pieces left. I normally invite my two other friends over for cake and ice cream but can't do it this year. I received flowers and several phone calls.
DH gave me a very generous WalMart gift card, DVD of the 3 Wedding Veil movies plus made his delicious spaghetti sauce. So for today's meal: just heat up the sauce, cook spaghetti and toast the french bread-very easy and delicious meal. I am so very thankful and blessed.๐คโฅ๏ธ๐๐ฅค๐ฅค๐ฅค
