Claire had a fun morning!

This went on for almost an hour - two squirrels taking turns eating at the feeder (which I had just moved there to fill). I thought she was gonna go thru' the glass! Such funny sounds can come from a cat!

Cherries!!

One *very* full cherry tree...

(best viewed larger)

Two hot & sweaty pickers...

(with their Mama helping when not behind the camera:)

Three full containers of cherries...

Nine pounds, 10.5 ounces of cherries = 14 cups...

Three cups of cherry pits...

One (hopefully) yummy sour cherry pie...

(my first attempt!)

I'm *really* hoping this tastes better than it looks! We'll see tonight.

Thanks, Wendy for remembering that Brian loves sour cherries and for offering your tree! What fun to surprise Brian this way! :)

Travel Fun

We had such a fun time in Virginia Beach with the H10 family. Brian had work in the Tidewater area so the girls and I tagged along. (thanks Brian!) We got a hotel on the ocean front allowing the girls & I visited with Danielle and the kids every day (and night!) We hit the park, the beach, the pool, a Norfolk Tides game, lunch out twice & dinner out. (thank you, Rachel!) So good to be with such dear friends!
