I've had a busy day taking care of dogs, cleaning and welding on the old vise I started on yester, and keeping water in the bird wash.

I just got my internet back after it was down for 5 1/2 hours, after a power blip that must have damaged a server somewhere on the network. For a while I was running my desktop on a mobile hot spot generated by my Android phone.

It's a slow night. No one in FF chat room tonight, so I guess I will retire early. I have o go to the city Tue and Wed mornings for Bank and Dr appointments. Will be doggy sitting both afternoons.

Grape wine is a good idea. Why didn't Bretty think of that?

I'm smiling. You remind me of myself when I find a good deal. One year, it was blueberries at the Aldi's store. I kept going back and getting more because they were so delicious and freeze so nicely and easily. Didn't buy many blueberries for a couple years, except for fresh eating.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

One dang thing after another. End of month bills due, I am beginning to hate self-employment.

Way less product if I were to make wine.

Wine yields way lass from the grape and not verified I'd get a good product.

Love blueberries. I'd like to plant some. Have French currents about to start in for pancakes and muffins.
