Need some canning jars?

So I got two bushels of apples and need to do something with them. I decided I was going to can some of them. I checked my parents house to see if they had empty jars I could use since its been about 10 years since Mom canned. They had some empty jars and Mom said I could empty out the jars they had on their shelves that they hadn't touched in years. I couldn't help but laugh when I pulled some of the jars out. There were cherries that Mom had canned in 1979! And there were a few jars of something that had been canned in 1976!! Crazy! So now I have plenty of jars and only have to buy lids. Woo hoo. I'll get back to you on how the canning goes.
