Monday found me playing catch up. You know, even if you just go away overnight, when you get home there is always stuff to do that you must catch up with.
One of the first things was paying our taxes.
You know what Benjamin Franklin said, “Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”
So true. So off to the Town Hall I went with checkbook in hand. After signing away our savings, I headed to the Post Office to mail a package to my friend in Delaware. There is a certain German food that I can get up here that they simply do not sell down there. So, off it went.
I finished weeding the beets in the garden, and picked two summer squash, which I sautéed up for our dinner, and made another fruit salad.
Sheets and blankets were washed, meals cooked and cleaned up, and by the end of the day, I was feeling quite happily tired.
Just a few more days until we learn if Anneliese is expecting her puppies. I am going a little crazy, as I wait! She is sure acting like she is, but…
Fritz is doing well.
His neck is looking good and on Friday he gets his stitches out. He is a happy, healthy dog once again, and I am thrilled!
Hubby is picking our cherries now.
This is a full two weeks ahead of schedule! A local farm stand is buying some of them and reselling them to the public. I’ll tell you, these are some of the best cherries that we have ever had!
We have plenty of cherries so I can make cherry jam! Here is one of my baskets, full of cherries just waiting for me to make them into jam!
Oh how I am jealous. I love love love cheeries but they are so expensive here!! I am so glad Fritz is ok. he is such a beautiful dog!!
God Bless~

Oh,… send some cherries over please. 🙂
You really had a wonderful weekend with your family. It sounds perfect to me.
And I am glad that Fritz is ok again.
Those cherries look amazing! The ones I’ve been getting here have been superb this year too, I wonder what it is…
Yay for Fritz!

And so glad that Fritz is feeling better! He is sure once handsome pup! 🙂
Can’t wait to hear the news about Anneliese–I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you both! I’ll call you on my way home from work tonight.
Lots of love,
Mandy
You´re killing me here! I love love Cherries and yours look so good!! I saw some apples hanging over Fritz´s head too. I´m sure it´s so fun to just go out and pick some fruit to eat.
Oh boy Cherries here I come!!! Can’t wait for the news on Puppies!! Crossing my fingers! Love YOU, Mel
Hubby should wear the cherries as earrings, they look so yummy, lol ! Glad to see Fritz in such a nice shape !
We had to do our tax declarations via internet this year ! Poor people without computer had to go to special offices.
Cross my fingers for Anneliese !
Can’t wait to taste those cherries! Love the pic of Fritz and the taxes pic! 🙂
Those cherries look great but picking them all must be quite a task for sure. I am glad Fritz is on the mend and hopefully we have something to celebrate with Anneliese when I see you on the 4th!
Those Cherries do look good… I wished I was closer to have a look at them though!!!
