Saturday was the first time I canned all by myself. The canning food....Grapejuice! As you can see by the photos it was a process, but they all turned out and all of them sealed. Yeah!!!! My sister-in-law Jessica and I have been canning a lot of things this year such as tomatoes, pickles, pickle relish, jams, and soon applesuace. It is actually fun to do with someone and there is some sense of accomplishment when you look at the variety of canned goods, with all their different colors, sitting on the shelves. Canning does come with its woes. Tim had placed the grapes on the deck the night before. When I got home from work, it was just starting to rain and so I thought I should take the grapes in. Tim was downstairs for the moment and when he got back up, he said it would not be a good idea to have the grapes inside due to the fruit flies. Well too late. We now are the proud parents of many fruit flies and Tim like to take a dish towel and see how many he can kill at a time. They are getting less, but still like to annoy us with their presence.
Tim and Eric are staying very busy working on tooling to make acrylic windshields for boats. It involves a lot of sanding and laminating. They have a big project to finish by Tuesday so yesterday Tim went over and worked all day yesterday and Monday will be a big day too. Good thing they enjoy it.

Today is just a relaxing Sunday. We are having a friendly debate over which football team is going to win today..Vikings or Lions. I still remain a Minnesota Vikings fan and Tim is loyal to his Lions. I might have to borrow some of Dan and Laura's Viking wear to put on the twins (when Tim isn't looking of course)!
