so, who would have thought that cooking a turkey, and making grape jam, at the same time, would make such a mess of the kitchen?  or that accidentally spilling five cups of sugar on the floor would would spread all over the place, or that said sugar would get all sticky/icky from water getting on it. many, many, many pans and bowls are required when making jam, btw.

(fresh warm grape jam is very yummy my friends, i was forced to eat a third of a jar that wasn't full)

luckily, DM has gone on a road trip to pick-up another new kayak.

yikes! DM is in columbus already.

don't tell daddy!
