Ghosts, Splinters and Hearing Aids

Just a few highlights from last week:

Friday was the last day of harvest, whew! (make gesture like wiping my forehead.)

I had a splinter go through my fingernail of my thumb, and I dug it out with a knife. I got it on Monday, somehow didn't even feel it happen(?) I got it out on Friday. It looked like a piece of aluminum foil(?) I'm hard core.

John's band competed on Saturday in Charleston. I have pictures, but they are on the camera which is still in the band room.

We are fermenting apple cider, it makes our basement smell really good.

I blew one of my headphones on my ipod already. The sad part, I don't think it is loud enough, I was asking John how to change the volume on the computer so that when we upload songs they can be louder. I am not afraid or too proud for a hearing aid though, when the time is right I will not make you scream at me just to have a conversation. I will instead make you comment on the blog as my main form of communication. Right now when I don't want to hear something, like band kids on a school bus, I can turn up my ipod. Later, I will just turn off my hearing aid. Yes!!

John is obsessed with the ghost at the winery. He says she is helping him put the sheets on the bed for our Bed and Breakfast guests, opening doors and closing them again, and calling for help at 5:30 a.m. I for one count my blessings that I have not personally witnessed any of this.
