They have a grapevine in the backyard.

This is the beautiful vine growing in his meme and pepe’s yard, up the arbor on their deck.

And this is pepe checking the leaves. You have to pick them when they’re soft, when they’re just right, otherwise they get too tough.

And then do you know what you have?

Tough stuffed grape leaves or dolma.

And nobody like a tough stuffed grape leaf.

There were only a few leaves that were good, so pepe picked them and put them away for later.

At the end of the month, there should be a big enough pile to make dolma.

That’s right. Meme is going to teach me the secret!

Check back at the end of July beginning of August.

Until then, enjoy the beautiful weather, listen to the waves crash or enjoy the shade of your grape vine.
