We are in the middle of grape-juicing this year. This is quickly becoming an annual tradition. We all love to eat the preserved fruit, however, (if I'm completely honest) Rich is the instigator in getting it done. I like the idea of doing it, but actually starting can be a little overwhelming to me.
After 3 days of searching, we found Concord grapes (not an easy task) locally. Two trips to the fruit stand later, we have 4 boxes of grapes, 5 dozen new jars, and we're on the call list for next year (YAY).
We started last night (hello? Who starts doing this AFTER the kids go to bed??) about 7:30 and Rich finished while I dozed on the couch until about 11:30.
I started this afternoon (what was I thinking? Oh yea: I should do grapes while Lucy's napping and Luke is enjoying a happy little movie called Toy Story 2), Luke watched a movie, then another movie; Lucy slept and Rich got home from work just in time to get the campchef going and really start crankin'.
Then, the movies ended, Lucy woke up, and we stopped for dinner....that's where it's ended for tonight...more tomorrow? (very possible)
