Happy Birthday Ter!!!! I hope you found some time in the baseball season cuisinart to do something for yourself. You deserve every iota of being treated to great day or at least a rain check for an evening off! You're amazing! Don't ever forget it!

Happy Birthday, Donna. Hope you're planning something special for today!

I use to work for Incredibly Edible Delites which is the original fruit flower company in PA (not the same company as Incredible Edibles & there is also Edible Arrangements) Where I worked they were very picky about the fruit that they bought. It's neat to watch how it's done. I learned a few things myself. We would get calls from people who thought they rec'd our product only to find out it came from the "other" place. Our place did pineapple, melon, strawberries, cantaloupe. I still wonder how the other places put chocolate dipped apples, bananas and other fruits in their arrangements without them turning brown if they are preservative free. I know for a fact ours was "preservative free" One thing to consider when sending an arrangement is the size. If the whole product cannot be put in the frig because of the height or width (until they are ready to eat it) then the recipient would have to take all of the fruit off of the arrangement and store it in containers in the frig. This is just something to think about especially if they will not be serving it the same day they recieve it. Here is the place I worked for. I'm not plugging for them - I no longer work there but I know what type of products they sell. www.fruitflowers.com - Hope you found this info useful.

Happy Birthday, Donna. What a celebratory July this is for you! One party after another!
