Hello & Welcome!

My name is Darlene, I'm also known as "Bing" to the rest of my family & friends. Married to a wonderful person named Ray and I have a son named Zachary. I also share my house with a 4 legged animal by the name of Luna, She's a English Bull Terrier.

These 3 wonderful human beings (yes, I consider our dog a human) brings me joy everyday to my life. You'll probably find my 3 main characters on this blog from time to time.

I dived into the blogging world as I've seen some of my relatives and friends share their interests on the web which I thought was very cool and at the same time, get ideas for any party or meals or craft projects to do with my son.

I also showcase my baking dishes at work and one day a co-worker of mine mentioned that I should start a site or blog to put all your baking recipes in one place! I thought of it as a great idea and also to share my other interests which is just family adventures/trips and or my new found love of crafting.

I'm so NEW to this, so bare with me as I try to make this blog more fun to look at and most especially more interesting to follow!

I'll try my best to keep this up to date, share/post pics and will see where this blog takes me and you...

Enjoy reading!

Strawberry & Cherry Picking

Cherry Picking was always on our list of things to do late spring but it depends as to when the cherries are ready for harvest. This year we took a drive to Brentwood, CA and never really had the intention to do Strawberry picking as none of us would like to bend down for like an hour or so to pick strawberries as it's hard on our backs.
As it turns out, we arrived pretty early and somewhat drove into the parking lot of this Strawberry Ranch ( sorry, but I really don't remember the name as there are so many along that road). As you can see from the picture below, this ranch had such sweet and huge strawberries!

After enjoying the Strawberry Ranch, we drove further down the road and went to the Cherry Ranch:

My mom was having such a GRAND time picking these beautiful Cherries:

Note: Please Call the Ranch ahead of time before you take a drive out to Brentwood, as some Cheeries & Strawberry Ranches have different harvest dates. This year, it was around early June when we went.
