After spending 12 years in the NW we learned that if you wait for it to stop raining you will not ever leave your house. You can do anything in the rain that you do without the rain:) So today, despite possibilities of rain, our little peach picking crew went on an adventure. My 3 CK's and two of their friends hopped in our Trailblazer and headed north of Knoxville to the Fruit and Berry Patch. We picked 1 1/2 bushels -about 84 lbs when I weighed them at home. We had the best time. There are a lot of peaches to be reached when you let an eight year old climb the tree or put a four year old on your shoulders. Can you believe that I forgot to take pictures?
After we picked our hearts out we stopped in the little store there on farm and had fresh fruit slushes. We tried the cherry/apple and the strawberry and it was pretty even favorites. If you want a good staycation or just a fun adventure head up to the kid friendly Fruit and Berry Patch at 4407 McCloud Rd., Knoxville, TN 37938. For farm updates call 865-922-3779 or go here.
My buddy Teresa is coming over tomorrow. Guess what we will be doing:)

My Favorite Deal In A LONG Time
La Brea Bakery Italian Bread is my favorite bread in Knoxville. It is available at the Kroger on Brooklawn. Tonight, I was searching for Italian bread recipes to try and make it myself because the yummy stuff is about $3.50/loaf. After finding some recipes to try I thought I would look up La Brea Bakery and guess what? They have a $1/2 loaves on their website. They even have some delicous looking recipes. This is DEFINATELY my favorite deal of the week!
