cherries are my favorite

our two baby cherry trees have cherries this year. we also have friends with cherry trees that fruited for the first year. we are so happy with all of our cherries! i have made cherry jam and some yummy homemade cherry garcia ice cream. today i'm going to bottle some cherry pie filling, which makes me miss my dad! cherry pie is his favorite. i would love to make a fresh cherry pie for him. i am *so* excited to see my family this weekend. we are a small, close family (i am the oldest of four,) and right now we are living all over the world- america, mexico, UK, africa. we are all traveling to my sister's wedding. my girls are the only grandkids of my parents, and are very spoiled with outpourings of love from both my and christian's family. my only brother is on his mission: we are going to miss him and his sarcastic sense of humor. i can't wait to see my two fabulously chic and hilarious sisters, my loving, funny mom and my fun, talented dad! i wonder how well a fresh cherry pie would make the trip?
