Welcome
to...
Emmett Idaho...
So today was supposed to be stormy and rainy, and the sky at 5:30 this morning certainly looked like the weather man's promise was going to be fulfilled. But...It turned out to be a beautiful day.
After lunch with Tony, Victor and I met Jackie (a lady Victor works with) and her two boys, at the Emmett Cherry Festival. We had a great time! The boys really liked it; there were craft and display booths, rides for the kids and food booths...of course.
When we were finished at the festival, we went to the Rancho Pinard Orchard, where we picked two large buckets of Cherries...One for Jackie and the boys, and one for Todd, Victor and me. At $12 per bucket it was not a bad deal when you consider that each bucket holds about 10 pounds (my guess) and cherries go for $4 to $5 per pound at the grocery stores!
Would someone please tell me what we are going to do with 10 pounds of cherries.
BTW...The Valley of Plenty Quilters is having their quilt show this Saturday in Emmett, if anyone is interested.
You're going to eat them, what else. Just be sure to spit the pits out, preferably in the garbage.
ReplyDeleteOh we did plenty of that!
ReplyDeleteBut the pies and the cherry jam we made and are still enjoying were even better.....Yum!
