BING - O THOSE YUMMY CHERRIES!


We love fruit - all kinds 
but hubby's favorite are the Bing Cherries!
It's that fabulous time of the year again.



Now if the kids had been around we would
probably have put these on as earrings,
then washed them, and then eaten them!
That's a fun memory from my childhood.
We only had red cherries - we only got
to have Bing cherries when we 
came to Canada. 

I also love the Queen Anne cherries
from Washington - they must be 
coming soon!






Look at all the doubles and triples! 
I know, I know - quit playing with your food Karin!



Sorry, but they're all gone now!  YUM!!

I love fresh cherries! Our Washington Rainier cherries are good, too. It's so funny that I love fresh but can't stand cherry pie....

It's too bad they have such a short season, they are very good for us!!! Have you ever tried the yellow ones called "ranier"? They are supposed to be the gourmet of all cherries! Phil eats them whenever he can find them.

Oh dear, I love cherries. My girlfriend and I hung them in our ears. once I took a bite ... and bit into a worm. Since that time I view my cherry carefully before I eat! Here we have dark red cherries.

Lucky you! We are told that there will be no local cherries, peaches and very few apples due to the crazy weather we had this Spring. So - enjoy a few for me!

Mmm-mmm-mmm! I love the summer cherries, too! I haven't had any yet this year but I think you've made a good marketing appeal. :)

Thank you Karin for such an insightful comment on my blog post about working with the elderly. You've reinforced my gut feelings about reaching each person through their spiritual nature. Even though the body is wearing out, their spirit is strong.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with me.

Love those bing cherries! Summer is really here when we can eat yummy red cherries.

Hi, Karin,
I just read your comment on Wendy's blog and wanted to come by. I see that you follow "Let Your Light Shine," Ginny's blog. She is a friend of mine. She has taken care of my granddaughter, Ella, since she was little. I was just with her last week in Virginia.

Yes we finally have the cherries. I have to ration them as they are very high on the glycemic index. A great tribute to your children's father.

I always told my children not to play with their food, but you got such nice triples and quadruples that I will forgive you for playing. Enjoy!

GOD CALLED HIM HOME

My Love! Hans Peter Ristau  November 24, 1939 - May 21, 2013 EULOGY presented by his son Dr. Kenneth Andrew Ristau  Hans Peter Ristau was born to Karl and Martha Ristau on November 24th, 1939, in Berlin, Germany, only two and half months after the start of the War. Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later. Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...

ARTIFICIAL OR REAL?

Image
The pastor made comments about the lovely flower arrangements decorating the front of the church. He used them as an excellent illustration about being real! They looked deceptively real, but were in fact artificial, fake, and phony. Not all things, or people for that matter, are the real thing. Imitations are passed off as the real thing everywhere one goes. Fake flowers and fake people can deceive us, but thankfully not for long. Counterfeit coins or counterfeit Christians – neither can be taken at face value. Being totally acquainted with the real thing, however, will give us the discernment to know when something or someone is fake! As I mulled over this picture, other thoughts crowded my mind. In our sanctuary, there is no access to natural light streaming in through beautiful, wide or stained glass windows. Even a child knows that without natural light real plants cannot grow. The reason we don’t have too many windows is probably because we fear they would invite vandalism...
