We visited some friends, who fed us lunch and invited us to pick cherries. Theirs are some of the only sweet cherries in the area! We got a gallon and will go back Monday for the rest. I have visions of jam, canned cherries, and lots of fresh eating.

When we got home, another friend showed up bearing fried chicken, macaroni salad and rolls. We sat outside and watched the parakeets play. While we chatted about our lives, he put grass in the aviary and the little birds got so excited! They were actually fighting over it, even though we do this periodically. I showed him one of the two little chicks that have hatched. After Jim finished chores, we ate out there. The weather was perfect.

I ran out of blush. But the little jar it came in was so pretty, I mixed some petroleum jelly and lipstick I wasn't using anyway, and it turned out great! It will last quite awhile, until I get some money saved ahead for personal appearance stuff.

A back issue of a crochet magazine has a pattern out of granny squares for a cardigan. The design is really stylish! Theirs is in fall colors, but I have some crochet cotton in summer colors, so guess I'd better get busy. After that, I'm going to find or make a pair of slacks to go with it, though I think my jeans would work, too. I bought the cotton thread for a dollar for a bag of new skeins at a thrift store last year, wondering how I'd ever use those pretty colors.

I meant to go food shopping this week, but we have so much on hand that we may as well use up what we have.

Happy Father's Day!
