Juicing grapes at midnight Friday
I got 14 quarts of juice, not as good as last year but I'll take what I can get.
Alivia, enjoying her Birthday cake.
Alivia opening her 3rd Birthday Presents!I was reading some of the comments on my blog and I see that Heather is requesting a new post so she doesn't see the "ugleeee" spider when she opens my site. So here are some pic's of Alivia's birthday celebration last night. We had another busy evening.
Came home from work to wait for the Service Tech from DirecTV. He had to align our dish so we could pick up our HD channels. It got out of wack in the wind storm we had a few weeks ago.
OK, so he comes, does his thing, leaves.....Tony gets home from work, he says we are still not getting all the channels we are suppose to. He calls DirecTV again and the fellow is scheduled to come back. In the meantime, I gather my buckets and head for Kim's to pick my grapes while Tony waits for the washing machine repairman as well as the service tech (again) ..... I pick 10 gallons of grapes, head home and when I get there, the washing repairman is there (luckily, he fixed it so it only cost us $98 as opposed to a new $600 plus) "SMILE"....then I start washing the grapes because the service tech has arrived and we can't go to the party till he leaves. Finally he's done, Tony is happy.... we are now late for the party and we arrive and Livvie is opening her gifts. We stay for cake and ice cream (which we did not need) then make a mad dash to Deedra's to see the new carpet in the new addition. VERY NICE..... now we go home and start on the grape juice. It is somewhere around 9, 9:30...... Tony washes them while I start to process. ( I also did two loads of laundry to try out the fix job and low and behold it works, no problems) After Tony is done washing the grapes, there is really nothing left for him to do so I take pity on him and tell him he can go to bed and I'll finish up. I get my laundry folded and put away and my ironing done while the grapes process. Finally I'm done at 1AM and off to bed.
Oh, I didn't get the pic's in the correct order so I'm blaming it on lack of sleep! he he

New post much appreciated. You really need to teach me how to can and make juice- another trip I suppose- we have enough scheduled for the trip at the end of Sept. Well, you two are always busy- which is good cause at least I know you are never bored!
Yes - thanks for replacing the icky spider post. I didn't know you were juicing grapes too. Cool! Were did you get them? (Not that I want to learn to juice grapes at this time, just wondering. I did enough peaches for now).
A gal we hometeach lets me and another lady in the ward pick her's. I got 2nd pick last year so this year she let me pick 1st. She had cut them back after the season last year so there weren't near as many. I picked 15 gallons last year (& I was 2nd ) this year I only got 10 gallons (& I was 1st) and I don't think the 2nd gal will get manhy at all.
