Day Zero Plus Eighty-nine – Grapes Day 2

Jeff isn’t supposed to eat jelly that is not commercially prepared.  He enjoyed smelling the grapes as they were processed and is looking forward to the day when he can take a chance with Keith’s jelly.

I told Keith he has earned the right to use or give away his grape jelly.  If you want some, you will have to be very, very nice to Keith.  He endured many bug bites, an earthquake (which he actually did not feel), and a few burns to produce his lovely jelly.  He put up “only” 26 jars so only his top tier friends will taste the sweetness.  Of course, now he needs to do some research to find out why the produced juice varies in color from one batch to the next.  Perhaps he will keep a jar aside for next year’s Grange Fair!    

Here are some pictures of the fruits of Keith’s labor.  He wants everyone to know that none of these pictures shows the entire harvest.

Impressive!! Glad Keith didn't WINE about all of the work. People looking forward to getting jelly will have GRAPE EXPECTATIONS. They should have no RAISIN to be disappointed. This, of course, is the CURRANT topic of discussion at your house. I know because I heard it through the GRAPEVINE. Well, I've JUICED this comment for all it's worth, even though I could probably find a BUNCH more puns. I'm sure everyone will CONCORD. SEEDLESS to say, I'm all done now.

Ken,
I texted Keith, "Next thing we know, you'll be a vintner!" He texted back, "Isn't that a property in Monopoly?"
