If My Grandma Had A Blog

My grandmother died in 2005. She did not own a computer. I think she could have mastered some computer skills, but she had plenty of interests and activities and friends to keep her engaged in the world. She wrote things down, not fictional stories but events of her life, both past and present. After she died, I was given the honor of keeping some of her writings. I thought starting a blog with them might be fun. I hope readers will find it enjoyable. Thanks for stopping by.

Glasses?

July 31, 1932 - Cloudy and several good showers during the day. To S.S. and church. Alma left right after dinner for Sioux City with Kenneth Ramsey. I spent the rest of the afternoon reading.
August 1, 1932 - Dora and George came back last nite. Had a few nice showers early this morning. We made 15 glasses of blackberry and apple jelly. Ray came in this morning and then went out to Ola's.
August 2, 1932 - We canned 9 pints of apple and blackberry butter, and made 2 glasses of apple jelly and 23 glasses of apple and chokecherry jelly. Peggy and Gordon came up this morning and again this p.m. Arnold and Lydia came tonite and we went to League at Ruth Jochens.

I haven't heard of making glasses of jelly. Are these not canning jars, but glasses of some kind with wax on top to keep the jelly fresh? And since I'm asking questions, who are the littles in this photo?

I know they did put jelly in glasses and then poured the parafin wax on top to preserve the jelly. Seem to remember that drinking glasses of various sizes were used. Have no idea who the littles are.
