Deb your old combination gas and wood stove is really cool. I can still remember having a wood stove in our house when I was a kid. Nothing like home made bread baked in a wood stove. When you are ready to restore it, you might want to learn about rust removal using beet pulp with molasis. I have restored one stove, and if you submerge the parts in a slurry made of this beet pulp with molasis, it removes the rust in a couple of weeks. You can just google that, and find information about it.
My mother used to freeze peaches with frozen orange juice some how, never learned how she did it, but boy they sure tasted great. I sure wish I know what she did. I have two peach trees, and this year my Contender is loaded. I've been thinning like crazy. I ususally just can them in a light syrup and process in a water bath. Not too hard. I also make peach butter in the crock pot. UMMMM.
