We have grape vine in our back yard since year 2006.... the year before Austin was born. The plant was from a very nice Japanese couple. They had their own sushi restaurant and Take was their very royal customer. I enjoyed the food as well, but not so much now after their kids took over the restaurant. The warm feeling is no longer there. When the old couple was still operating the restaurant, the place was very "homey".... but now it's just a regular restaurant to me. But..... that's nothing related to our grapes.....
We received the grapes as a gift and planted it in our back yard. Only a few months later, we tasted the first fruit It's now the fourth year we have fruits from the vine and they are again very sweet. Our neighbor likes them. Our gardener likes them. We know that because the number of grapes close to the wall between us and the neighbor shrinks every single day even when the grapes were not ready to be eaten. We were so glad they finally moved away because were afraid they will eventually finish all the grapes for us. 
Our precious grapes also become less and less after each of our gardener's visit. Birds like them as well so Take has to wrap paper around them to save them. With all these competition, we sure are lucky to have some of them left.
Today, Take found a perfect bunch of grapes. We took some pictures and decided to give them to our babysitter for mid-autumn day!!! heehee!!
