I finally figured out how to get back onto this group after googling a couple
of names I remembered. I found a message referring to Wendy and heather of
peace and Carrots Farm.
I finished massage school and have been a part time therapist for 2 years now
at a family destination farm. The other therapist left in May, and I am the
full time therapist now. Summers are especially busy there, and the rest of
the year I'll work just weekends, and be on call during the week.
In the last 2 weeks, I've done more massage than I did all 10 weeks of summer
last year. I had sort of been told that summer would be crazy last year, but
with 2 of us there, it didn't happen for me. I ended up only making just over
$1000 all summer. This week alone, I made almost $1000!! so I am thinking
that I can make enough (FINALLY!!) during the summer to sustain our monthly
expenses for the rest of the year. It's been a long time coming to feel a
sense of financial security.
So about those cherry pits: I saw a segment on Martha Stewart in the past
year or so and she used a common kitchen tool to easily pit the cherries. I
tried to find it on the website, but all I found was a suggestion to use a
large paper clip. You unfold it, and use the best size for the cherry. Just
push it into either end, twist, and pull out.
If I remember what the other tool was, I'll post it. I remember it sat on the
counter, and you poked the cherry onto it, and the pit was left on top when
you removed the cherry.
