Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Grape Harvesting

We had a full day planned today.
Drew was out of town at a meet at Stanford (He did well, I will post more when he gets home).
David was at his first classes towards his masters.
Erinn was in and out, house sitting and sewing a shirt with a friend.
So the plan was get Grandma a shower, switch out clothes for the little kids and pick grapes for more juice.
Sounds busy, but doable!!
On the way up the stairs for her shower Grandma had another seizure. Not fun! I was able to get her to my bed to sit down and wait for the worst to pass. Praying for peace in the trial for her. We were able to get the shower done with no more fun spots.
We then got on to the clothes change out, so Grandma could sit down and I could put my aching foot in the splint for a few hours. We had an uneventful 2 hours trying on all the clothes and sorting them.
Then we headed out to one of David's employee's house to pick grapes. Things got exciting again!!
We did get Grandma out to the big back yard to pick grapes.
She was having a good time and we had picked quite a few grapes!
Notice we did bring the walker in case she needed a break!
So while I was watching Hannah coax this cat out of the bushes, Grandma decided to have another seizure!! No kidding! The first time she has had two in one day. I must say it was warm and that may have had a lot to do with it. The problem is she does not say anything and you catch her in the midst. Anyways we got her into the shade with some cool rags on her neck and she was feeling better in a while. This time she said her vision was bumping around?!

Caleb got tired of picking grapes and waiting on Grandma, so he decided to feed the old apples to the neighbor cows!!

The end result!
13 quarts of wonderful Concord grape juice!
2 closets cleaned out!
1 exhausted mom/granddaughter!
I am praying for a restful night's sleep--LOL!!
