THE GRAPES OF LAUGH

Remember this episode of

I LOVE LUCY ...?
Lucy’s Italian Movie - season 5, originally aired April 16, 1956...

I remember laughing so so hard at this one....it was the funniest thing i've ever seen and , now,

ANYTIME grapes are mentioned,

I see this scene above in my mind.....

(for those that loved PRETTY WOMAN...remember, this is what was on the tv screen when

JULIA ROBERTS was....talking....to RICHARD GERE...) :>)

*

My son, DAVID and his wife, KATHY

have a BEAUTIFUL grape vineyard.....

BESO DEL SOL

*

*

*

Parts of the vineyard are still fairly new (he plants more each year) and other parts are considered

mature....that means.....

WINE, baby !! ;o)

such big, luscious, beautiful grapes...

and plenty of them...


ON grape gathering day, here came this HUGH machine that "picked" all the grapes..
it was so amazing to watch...and WATCH, I did ! Very interesting and my first knowledge of how
grapes were gathered.... I mean, Mr. SweetNothings and I helped gather them a couple of years...back when the vineyard was a WHOLE LOT SMALLER....
but, now that is is BIG, it calls for a BIG MACHINE.....


here they are being poured into HUGH crates.....
"be careful, David...don't let 'em bury you alive in......GRAPES...you might ferment !"

TOTALLY full of the best looking and best tasting grapes, ever..

BOUND TO MAKE DELICIOUS WINE.....

MAN...there for awhile, I was afraid we MIGHT have to do THIS.....

and I'm thinkin', "I ain't gonna like THIS!"

but..NO..'course not........they are all going to a winery...WHEW !!

the wine won't be ready for another year or so but

I'LL BET IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD....!!

OH, LUCY....we'll never forget you and the laughs you gave us !!

*****************

HAVE a great day...

OOOO HONEY....I DO LOVE HOMEMADE GRAPE JELLY EVEN MORE THAN WINE.......yummy!!
