What traveling did you enjoy this year? “Last year I went to the Cape Cod Cranberry Harvest. The weather was so beautiful, and I made a lot of friends on the trip. It was so refreshing to just relax and let someone else drive and plan the day. Right now I am anticipating going on this years Tractors & Tulips!” Thank you, Glenda Graybill for this wonderful recipe!
