Great ideas didn't know this about lemon's. I will use it alot more now! It's been a fast Summer here for us. I am sorry I have been out of the loop. I went to Michigan in June to be with some friends,then we went to Pierre SD July. I Loved Pierre, I want to sell everything and move there! Tim is so wanting to go as well. His parents were both born and raised in Pierre. It was his mom's family reunion that took us there. I think they want to move back too. 17 more days I go back to work, kids go back to school, Summer will bout over with. I have seen alot of great recipes in my inbox, thanks to everyone. Hugs, Janet
