Grape Stomping

Bucket List # 56 :Grape Stomping and Going to a Harvest Festival.

 

I finally did it!

 

This is something I have been wanting to do for a long time.  For centuries, stomping grapes was the universal method used to extract juice from the grapes. Lots of grape varieties thrive in the heat of the Texas Hill Country, including Mourvèdre, Grenache, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Amarela, Sangiovese, Petit Verdot, and Albariño,  but the big favorite is the Tempranillo.

Reflecting on childhood dream of being a Ninja! LOL!

  Ninja, is what I want to be when I grow up! LOL!  "What do you want to be when you grow up Belle?" I had always wanted to be a Mom, but for some reason that wasn't an acceptable answer to the above question at school. It should of been. But that's another post.  So, since being a mom wasn't acceptable to teachers, I would always say a Ninja. For several years I had a black Ninja costume that I would wear for Halloween! Eventually the costume didn't fit right anymore! I would tell people as a child I wanted to be Ninja because I wanted to somehow fight for Justice, similar to a superhero and ninja legends are all I knew.  My memories of being a Ninja resurfaced as my granddaughter ends her year at  taekwondo. Great Job! on your Belt Test Olive!!!! My husband, Son and Daughter all took taekwondo lessons at some point in their lives! Wow, I can't believe my granddaughter enjoys taekwondo. Great Job!

However, Olive loves the sound of her mom's voice. Olive heard that  one day everyone in Heaven will sing praises to the Lord. So, her mom's voice will surely add to the beautiful melody of the songs in Heaven, right?  But could her mom's voice add to the beauty of songs now?  After hearing   KB's Song 10K , Olive became inspired to write a song where she would incorporate singing with talking (rap) for her mom like KB. Olive, wrote a song she could sing with her mom!  together!  My Granddaughter was so excited she introduced th
