The Pennsylvania saga continues…

1) Taking Pictures of Butterflies (or, one butterfly, anyway…the other one flew away before I pictured it):

2) Picking Sour Cherries (and, Taking Pictures of Other People Who Are Picking Cherries):

3) Making Cherry Pie (Betty Crocker recipe FTW! Well, mostly. The crust was actually waaayyyyy too crumbly, so I made stars for the top instead of making a lattice as intended, but I think the stars were cuter anyway):

4) Drinking Vintage Whisky. (Chuck was scoping out the liquor cabinet in preparation for a long hard evening of Clue-playing, and uncovered some well-aged Canadian Club.  The vintage? 1982. Yep, this stuff has been sitting around since I was five years old. The funniest part? The current advertising tag at CandianClub.com:

Which is clearly just wrong, since if he HAD, we would not have been able to enjoy it now, in all its 26-year old splendor.)  For 26-year-old whisky, we broke out the fancy glasses…

So, 26 year old whisky? Is good. Note to self: begin whisky cellar now.
