Cherry

Well, Andy finally did it! He traded his old '93 Toyota pickup for a 2009 Chevy Trailblazer. He didn't get the Cash for Clunkers deal because his truck got too good of gas mileage for that, but he still got a great truck! I love it, it's a real cherry ride!



Coincidentally, the color is called "Dark Cherry Metallic" Now we have to think of a name for it. One of my friends (you know who you are) suggested "Cherry Garcia". But Andy didn't like that...he's more into country music.



Ms. Rosie loves riding and she had a blast snooping around the truck the first time we put her in it.

It really seems to be cherry season. I found these at the store yesterday and they fit right into my diet. I've loved cherries ever since I used to pick them from the tree at Grandpa's farm. These Rainiers are so delish!! Much sweeter than the tart cherries of my past.



One thing I have to confess. I meant to take a photo of them before I ate almost all of them...but ooops! I had to stuff the bag they came in, into this cup so I could perch the last few on the bag. Looks like the cup is full, doesn't it?

  1. Very nice new vehicle with the Rosie seal of approval! I love ranier cherries, too. And Costco's got some of the biggest bing cherries I've ever seen -- look like small plums! Enjoy your cherries :-)

  5. There's nothing more exciting than a new vehicle. Well, I guess that's not true, but since I only get a new car every 10 years or so, its a bug deal. And Ranier's are the best cherries around!
