Michigan cherries especially are magical. "The Other Catherine", a friend of mine from Michigan, now in Germany, always packs a case in her suitcase on the return trip. :-) The cherries are equally well loved by friends who have never been to Michigan.

Maybe we should start a cherry exporting side-biz and grow the Michigan economy that way. ;-) Indeed!
