7 Things I learned in June

I love reading the blog "Chatting at the Sky" (found here).  This month Emily invited her readers to share some of the things they learned in June - as she has done for each month recently.  Not necessarily earth shattering - mostly just for fun :)

Here's mine!

 1) Sour cherries are much easier to pit than sweet bings and don't stain nearly as much.  And they taste pretty darn good too.

2) My son is strong enough to carry the nasty rained-on bags of lawn clippings to the street without dragging them on the ground and ripping a hole when hubby is on travel.  Score!!

3) What to do when you find a tick on a person - cause after all these years, one of the kids found one on themselves.  Luckily, no bite.

4) The 10 year history of the 5-year treasury note.  Seriously.  I can give you the high and the low.

5) People really don't think they can get any thing for free - in general they are suspicious.  I learned this when we tried to give stuff away.  For free.  And people didn't want it.

6) There is no such thing as too many Old Navy tank tops or flip flops.

7)  Age 13 is going to give my parenting skills a serious challenge.
