Nina, sorry I missed your birthday, so I send you my best wishes. I usually like to buy Neva's noodles, they are made in Agency and sold at Hy Vee. Really like beef and noodles and chicken and noodles with mashed potatoes.
OK, your canned meat sounds yummy, my DM, DD and I canned 1/2 a beef several years ago, sure miss having our own meat. Also missed the green beans. Good luck on your new job, I would probably spend all my time choosing what fabric to buy.
