Pick'm and Press'm

David has been dreaming about an apple press. We still have a cooler full of apples from Mrs. Dailey's trees and now another neighbor, Hal, has offered his apples to us, if we come and pick them. So David called around to our community in search of an apple press to turn the abundance of apples into cider. This week he hit the jackpot! Our dear neighbors Nick and Fran, our "adopted grandparents" who play the role for those of us living far away from our real beloved grandparents, had a press sitting around and they were ready for it to find a new home. So David and Alex picked it up and offered some window cleaning in exchange. And here she is...

1. A little helper fills the chamber with apples (yes, if the little helper is wearing only panties the apple juice tastes sweeter)

2. The cranker cranks

3. Our juice cups runneth over
