Summer Fruit

Cherries anyone?

We are a long way from 

any cherry orchards...

fresh from the grocery store

will have to do!

Eating cherries

and this record-breaking

heat wave 

reminds me of 

a summer vacation in 1974!

Mom and Dad 

loaded up the '67 Chevy

and headed west to California....

The windows rolled down

was our air conditioning,

it was melting hot !

Somewhere in Colorado  

we stopped and bought a bag of fresh cherries!

I was 10 and I don't think I'd ever had fresh cherries before,

MMMM they were good!

UNTIL

Somewhere in Nevada  

the heat, the car-sickness, and the cherries

came to a head!

I never liked cherries since that 

little roadside episode...

It took me many years to recover 

and like them again

and,

I will never forget that hot car ride!

Now I enjoy cherries on solid ground

in front of the air conditioner :)

Hope you're staying cool!

Hang in there,
