crab apple jelly

Yesterday I made crab apple jelly. The total came
to 18 pints of jelly. That should get us through
a year or two.

In the evening Robert went to his Cosmology book
club. Vernon showed up about 8 PM to return
the books he had and to pick up some more. We
are his lending library. We had fun discussing
his adventures on his new off-road motorcycle
down in the Dove Creek area and I regaled him
with tales of out 5700 mile trip for the last
month.

Today I started making lists and assembling things
for the trip to Gothic. We'll have a cabin to
stay in, but it'll not have any water nor water=
related facilities. Carl and Martha are coming
Sunday night so we can plan menus and such.

Robert and I went to town to get tires for the
truck. We took two cars so he wouldn't have to
sit indefinitely waiting for the tires to be
mounted on the truck. We did some grocery
shopping and picked up a few things for the
Gothic trip.

This evening Viki called. We're both taking
the same judge-training class on Oct. 9th. I'll
pick her up at Boulder High. And now to brag
a little. Keegan is playing in the Boulder
Philharmonic Ochestra on Sept. 24th. He is a
freshman music major at CU. There are 3
harpist. Keegan, a woman who is a junior
at CU and another woman who is in the
graduate school. Keegan and the graduate
student are playing in he ochestra. Keegan, is
not actually playing a "solo" but, will be
playing at one time in the concert when no
one else is playing. Not bad for a freshman.
He does play beautifully.

I am so glad he is doing his music thing. I
wish he were at Eastman or Julliard though.

Tomorrow we spend the day at Chautauqua. More
about that after the fact.
