I feel like a new woman today with my apple peeler. I brought it home yesterday afternoon, screwed it to the counter, practiced with three apples and then wondered how many hundreds of hours of my life could have been spent hiking, biking or riding my horse rather than sitting there, chewing away, and peeling and quartering those apples at a rate of about 30 per hour. It takes a lot of apples to make sauce or cobbler. If I counted it all up, it could get downright discouraging----just like the amount of time I sit here staring at this computer while it takes 20 minutes to get going full speed ahead on some mornings/Marianne Love, Slight Detour.
