They are More than the Apple of My Eye!!


I just thought I take a moment to brag on my wife. Today she turned what's not been eaten of the two bushel of apples that grew on our backyard tree (it's a young tree and this is its first year of significant fruit) into seven quarts of canned apple sauce. If you have never had home-canned apple sauce, don't even think about the stuff under the Mott's label on the grocery store shelf. That would be like comparing the Statue of Liberty to a Lego block tower.

Anna made an apple pie with homemade crust and French crumble topping. Been good eatin' round here, folks! I haven't had time to think about a next post. Maybe tomorrow.

"Yeah, Hon. I hear you!"
Gotta run. The Roman apple cake is out of the oven soon.

Steve,

Better give Emma a call.
She's got your piece.

This is for my computer expert friends to answer. Here's something unusual. On my computer at home for this post, there is one snapshot of apples on a tree. On my computer at school it shows two pictures: the apples on a tree and a shot of me with the picker and bucket next to the tree. hmmmm...

How does one post end up with two different versions? I played with which picture to use, but thought I finished with only one shot. Even if I had two by accident, how is it that there are different versions of the post?
