Being the new Martha Stewart!

Since I was young I have been helping my mom put up fruit. We have made applesauce, dried apples, dried bananas, stewed tomatoes, tomato juice, grape juice, raisins, bottled peaches and other delicious food items.  This year was an off year for both my mom's and our house's fruit. (The fruit comes in more one year and off the next year.) 
The fruit that I have here is grapes so I have been making grape juice. Right now I have 39 bottles and there is still more that I need to do. My mom has come to take some and Hans' mom has as well. We have the grapes wrapping around our yard. It has been a great blessing living here to get the grape juice done. Our families both love grape juice. I think my family might like it a little bit more since I have never actually seen Hans' drink juice. With my family however we drink it all the time.  I am glad that this year it is at my house and I am doing the work to keep the grape juice that I do.  Last year, my mom came over to my house and picked them and then took them to juice at her house. I didn't have access to a juicer so she just gave me a few bottles for giving her the grapes. Those didn't last very long at all. So you may be able to tell why I am so excited that I have done them by myself this year. : D 
When I bottled my first batch of grape juice and Hans came home I asked him if he liked that I am started to be like a Susie homemaker/Martha Stewart? He was surprised I think that I was actually able to do it.
