What are all my buddies up to on this nice Sunday evening?? You wouldn’t believe what I’ve been up to! ABSOLUTELY NOOOOO GOOD!! THAT’S WHAT!! Lol

Ok!!! Truthfully, I’m so interested in nutrition and health. There are so MANY facets/fractures to a daily diet, some ambiguous, that make up the whole picture of perceived perfect health. We always talk about avoiding this/that on our diets, but seldom do we look at the big picture or take a moment to read our body’s output (blood, saliva and urine) a better indicator of where we stand health-wise. I’ve been studying the particulars of body pH . It is very interesting how certain types of food and lack of other types of food can put your body in a state of ‘imbalance’. Many times we never associate our feelings of bloating, swelling, and sluggishness, colds, viruses, etc. to the fact that we are out of balance on body pH. Yeah, you heard me right! Acidity vs. Alkalinity!! Now I know how you all JUST LOVE when I pour my fountain of knowledge on ya…LOL…you squirm, fall asleep, throw paper airplanes, and even go so far as to tap your fingers loudly on your desks and sigh loudly!! So, no more details for YOU on that subject!

Guess what?! Good news!! The crop is picked (grapes) and is now lying on the ground, basking in the sun on their paper trays! They’ll remain there for approximately 2 weeks, and then they’ll get rolled up like big paper tortillas, for another week before getting hauled off to the market! Another season bites the dust!! Now, I’m afraid the best thing I can send you in the mail, is a lil’ box of raisins…no more fresh grapes to munch on! All you carb counters would be happy to know that you’re not missing anything, though! The sugar content on the grapes this year is in the “B or Better” category! That just means the grapes are WAY TOOOO SWEET! Good news for us as farmers, bad news for us carb counting grape eaters!!
