@ellens,@wisco50,@sueinmn, It was great fun to reminisce about our time in Duluth and explorations which opened a whole new world to me as a young adult. I do have to confess that the annual 14 months (lol) of severe winter and snow with what I remember of what seemed like only 3-4 weeks, of glorious summer-fall were enough to last me a lifetime. very big grin (vbg) P.S. Sometimes there is an advantage to those 3 am treks to the bathroom! Remembered this morning that the pies I made were Rhubarb. Thank goodness, that along with the walleyes that you recalled would have niggled at my poor brain for days. Today is another walking day for me and I think I'll try to estimate how many of those fantastic tiny strawberries it might have taken to produce one pint-quart of preserves! Best to all.
