So we listed some of the crazy things we've been doing lately and one of them was pitting Cherries in Croatia.
We (Christina, Lindy and I) came down Sat. afternoon to do training for the camp we'll help with at the end of
July. That night we stayed with the Horvat family (a Christian family of 5 sons! Filip the second oldest is co-directing the camp)
In 2 and a half hours between Christina, Lindy, Filip, his mom and I we pitted 7 1/2 gallons of cherries. A couple thousand I'm sure.
We became pros.
And now what you've all been waiting for...Pictures!!!!
Here's us with all our aprons (Filip and 7 year old Ruben too)
Here's Lindy with the pitter machine (She got really fast)
We were amazed at how much the juice looked like blood
Lindy and I all messy
About half way through Bratko, the Horvat Dad asserted that now that we can pit cherries we are ready for marriage,HA!
I think he had someone in mind for Christina ;)
Christina and Filip
Lindy emptied this whole bucket herself

Nice, Cherries! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I know Lindy, so Mary, thanks for sharing what you have been up too with that crazy gal! Congratulations on making it to Slovenia! I hope you both have a great summer. I was actually thinking about taking a little visit to Slovenia this summer. Things are still up in the air. I pray your summer rocks.
Cherries, eh?
ReplyDeleteAn evil fruit, they be. The stories I could tell. If only I wasn't so busy.
