Home, cherries and coffee shop presentations :)
Home...as in where I grew up. John Day, Oregon...or more accurately Canyon City, Oregon. Beautiful place - Mom and Dad got this house in 1969...I was 5 and they have done a lot of work to it :). We slaved as kids - yes, I mean slaved. I'm sure I did not like it growing up but today I'm okay with it. I appreciate the work ethic. The yard was a rock pit when we moved in, now it is lush, green and full of different kinds of flower gardens, a fish pond, a vegetable garden, trees and a hammock:). Pure enjoyment. My parents are doing pretty well - they are hard workers. Perseverance must be in their genes, in their general outlook on life - just their overall attitude. The house and the yard/property look good. I'm impressed. So that is good news to me...very good news. Mom and a friend of hers wanted to go pie cherry picking today. So we loaded up the buckets and drove about 45 minutes to Thompson's Orchards on...
