I pit my cherries and just freeze them in gallon freezer bags. Since I'm not eating any sugar or flour, not sure what I'm going to do with them!

Nan, have you had your hugs today? Consider yourself hugged! Thank you for enriching my life and being a part of my journey. Sending lots of hugs from me to you! Have a blessed weekend!

Thanks so much for the running shoes! I found out a few weeks ago my blood sugars are to high. I'd been on the boarder a long time. I don't ever want to have to take insulin like my DH. So, I have to lose weight and exercise. I have been going to the gym 7 days a week. I go to Planet Fitness and really like it. I go for an hour or more a day. It's a lot, it's a big commitment, but the alternative is what I do not want more. Hope you have a really great weekend. I'm glad you are doing better now. It is so hard to get back on track, but after a few days it is much easier.

Loved the tent. Will be sleeping in one in two more weeks. I help my sister with her local Girl Scout camp week in Indiana. Usually I work in the kitchen getting food tubs ready as all meals are prepared by the girls/leaders over open fires. I also help with crafts and field trips. Each unit puts up their own tent and sleeps out the entire week.

With 35-45 girls, not sure this is the relaxation you were looking for but certainly is loads of fun.
