Taking it day by day…
Thank you all for the gracious notes that you left at this sorrowful time. I want you to know just how much they were appreciated. You are my internet friends and family and I hold you all dear in my heart! Even though so many of us have never met and probably never will, we have forged a friendship and a bond through this blog.
Today is Jack’s birthday…he would have been 86. He always would celebrate with the first cherries of the season…a custom started by his mother many years ago. So today, I’m going to buy cherries and serve them in honor of Jack.
Last year in happier times, I wrote about a Simple Roasted Cherry Dessert Topping. In case you missed it, here is a link to to that post.
In our hectic world, most of us can't commit to having dinner with our family/friends every night, but maybe we can start to put aside Sunday to be together and share our lives and good food. Let's join together to inspire others to celebrate our old traditions and create new ones.

Susie, I am so sorry for your loss, and sorry to have missed you in Seattle.
