Today's Writing Prompt: Ooops

Did you ever take on a responsibility you couldn't handle?

Yes I do take on jobs I know I can't handle. I'm learning to say no . . . most times. Usually the problem is that the responsibility is beyond what I can physically do and I pay the price for days afterward.




This is one of the best recipes I have ever posted. http://inmyworld-pam.blogspot.ca/2014/02/crockpot-chicken-sweet-potatoes.html

Cherry Month
Did you know that cherries can relieve pain? Montmorency tart cherries have been found to help relieve the pain of arthritis and gout. And that’s not all – according to ongoing research, Montmorency tart cherries are a rich source of antioxidants, which can help fight cancer and heart disease.
The Cherry Marketing Institute estimates there are 7000 tart cherries on an average tree, which is enough cherries to make 28 pies.
Placing a cherry on top of a sundae, soda, malt or milkshake is like crowning the treat. Somehow cherries make the dessert extra special. If ice cream seems too chilly for you this time of year, create a cocoa sundae! Prepare hot chocolate, spray aerosol whipped cream on top, sprinkle with chocolate jimmies and then top it with a cherry.

Friends are the Cherries on top of life.
