My husband, Rick, sent me a text asking if I wanted some cherries a couple of weeks ago. “Yes!” I responded. I don’t think that I know anyone who would have said no.

When I got home, there Read More

Actually, it won’t be 35 years until August, but circumstances require the Stidhams to be in Abilene, Texas, before then.
