Them scuppernongs is coming along real nice and ripening onthe vines. I'm planning on getting out and gathering as many as I can...tough this year. Sort of meoncholy as I have nobody to help me pick 'em no more and Granny's with the Lord...
She looked forward to renderin them grapes down to jelly for me and she took great pride in her cooking. And absolutely loved it when one or another of us would gather her some wild berries or grapes or some fruit we'd come across. She'd grin and get busy bulding us cobblers or pies or jellies or jams...
I'm going to take 'em to Momma and ask my sister Michelle to come help her with them. It'll mean a lot to both of them...I hope.

You and Dad ought to pitch in there too and get the cookin' started. Might I suggest that you invite Dusty and that knot head David out and just make a day of cookin', cannin' and maybe turnin' a hog into chops for grillin' and sausage for breakfast. Promise them a couple cans of somethin' and maybe a ham or side of bacon for their effort to take back home.

It'd be good to get Dusty involved in something... As for David; I'm about to write him off for good; he's plumb worthless and proud of it... Beyond understanding... Trish is gonna give me a hand with the grapes too, so I'm hoping to get a couple five gallon buckets full.

Even if he won't, be da man! Some of us have leadership thrust upon us and I'm believin' you just did. Keep tellin' yourself that God made him for some purpose or the other. I keep tellin' myself about my no count wife. And in the end if neither one of them does right we haven't lost a thing.

I try, Phil. You have no idea how hard I have tried and my whole family as well...but, you can't help someone that just won't be helped. A some point ya gotta let 'em go. Matthew 7:6

Hadda go out to the feed store this evening and on the way back, I stopped in at the wild grape patch, prolly half an acres of vines, to get another picking... They's all dried up and falling off the vine. I reckon I waited too long....
