hi ho cherry o!

during the 7 week break from school our ward has been combining with another ward. a girl from the other ward told the relief society of her old bishop who has 2 cherry trees. and he needs people to come pick the cherries pronto, before they all go bad. i know i JUST wrote about me being allergic to cherries but i can't help myself. i remember when i was younger my aunt linda had a huge cherry tree in her backyard and my sisters and i got to go pickin. and when we were done we would give our loot to our grandma, who turned those cherries into the most delicious cherry jam ever!

so brett and i took steve and gwen out with us and it was so fun!

we didn't come at the most perfect time and some of the cherries were a little wormed through, picked at by robins, or just really overripe. but we still got quite a lot.

while picking the little red beads of fruit i kept thinking about the kiddie game hi ho cherry o! i really don't remember how to even play it but what i DO remember is putting the little plastic cherries in the cardboard trees and then putting the cherries in your little plastic bucket. anyone remember this game??

so being allergic to fresh cherries and i don't really feel like risking botox'd lips again, i wanna either make an awesome cherry pie (the bishop gave us a really good recipe) or i wanna make a sweet jam. i don't know, i just don't know.

but i sure am excited!
