You did a great job coming up with a wonderful hop. :)<br /><br />I have not done that in anyone's home, but there is a similar game for wedding or baby showers. For wedding showers, regular canned goods are used. For baby showers, the labels are taken off baby food jars, then guests are allowed to taste them to see if they can guess the correct one.<br /><br />By the way, when you come to mow, don't do that to me. It would make me bonkers.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-24434499438619923532013-06-09T19:49:40.325-04:002013-06-09T19:49:40.325-04:00Thinking of canned goods (and mulling a little smu...Thinking of canned goods (and mulling a little smugly through the blog hop again) did you ever go to someone's house and play 'can roulette'?

We pick mulberries from a friend's tree, and the stems are a prob. I made a cobbler with them, but they stems still annoy. I think just sucking the fruit off the stems is the best way to eat them. Wear plastic nurses gloves (thin latex) and that eliminates the mess. I use the gloves when we pick them too. :-) Great list!<br />Marianne (Mare) Baker Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663143060069193124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-10144038658867187102013-06-08T19:23:22.840-04:002013-06-08T19:23:22.840-04:00I will be right on over to read it.
