My Favorite Place on Earth!


It's been almost 7 years since I've been to Camelot! The greatest place on earth. We had our Yah, Yah, Allred Girls get together this year at Grandma's Cabin. (Sorry you have to be over 45....hey, WenDee are you over 45??? Ok, you have to be a grandma!) It was awesome. Good food, lots of laughs, and of course card games. We had a ball. Thank you Mom and Marilynn for the great time.

Tis the season.....


The grapes are on! I'm at it again. Last year I put up over 200 quarts of grape juice. This year I won't need as much. I've got the Elders involved in picking grapes and then squeezing them through panty hose which they can deliver to there investigators. It makes the best tasting grape juice ever! That's how we first started doing it (thanks to Marilynn's creative mind) but it all to soon became hard on the hands. So I bought a juicer. Made life alot easier but we did lose some of the flavor...... Last week I took the Young Women up to Forest Falls to pick blackberries and then came back to make homemade ice cream. Yummy, yummy. The forest is loaded with berries and free for the picking.
