Don't remember elderberries, but I remember picking bayberries and dipping candles on our fingers. I still love the smell of them, and finally found some that 'smell' like home. I bring them out special each Christmas. Thanks for the info. I will look them up on the net and get some information for my husband. I would love to see some snow, but I am happy with the 60 degree weather here right now. It feels great! -----Original Message----- From: franor [mailto:franor@atmc.net] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 9:31 AM To: NJ-MEMORIES-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Fw: [NJ-Memories] Re: Putting up qts Ginny, Don't have their book but I think "Harry and David" on the west coast has them. In Jersey on the road to Cokebury there was 2 trees we used to pick from, one sour and one black. Our house in High Bridge had a Queen Anne's cherry, all were so great. Hey do you remember Elderberries? My husband and Father loved my pies.
