Grape Juice and first day of school

Yesterday with the predicted down pours and high winds we had to pick all the grapes or take the chance of losing all of them. We picked 5 1/2 gallons. I told the land lady that I would make all the juice for her and I. If only I had not said that. It would not have been bad if it had been done in a couple of days and not all at once. I said I would do it though, so that I did. 5 hours later I had 6 quarts of Grape Juice. That is enough for 6 batches of grape jelly, 3 for her and 3 for me.

Brooke had her first official day of school today. We got up on time, did things on time and no rushing involved, made for a very good start to the day. I got a picture of her before (Katie that is the outfit you bought her, finally got a picture of her in it) and of course I had to get a picture of my little (big) girl getting of the bus. She said she did not use up any of the hugs and kisses on her little back pack buddy I gave her, just in case she got scared. All she had to do was hold it and think of me giving her hugs and kisses. She is not the last one to be dropped off, so that was nice. The only thing is the poor child is the only female on her bus, and the driver is an older (farmer type) man. I told her that she must be extra special to be the only girl.

I have been working on a stuffed bear today. Then I am going to make a dinosaur that the land lady copied for me, it is so cute.

I think it is just about nap time for a certain little crabby boy, so I guess I better put the pictures on here and get him down, before there is major fighting.

Hope you all are having a wonderful day..............
