What a great way to start the day!!!

6 years ago

Our local restaurant supply store has teamed with a local produce grower. The store will be the pick-up location for produce boxes. To celebrate this new venture, they are giving away a free small produce box, and I won!!! It was announced on Facebook this morning.

This is also the same store where I won a set of beautiful red casserole dishes over their 12 Days of Christmas giveaway.

Jasdip: That looks great. What a fun prize to win!

Sleevendog: A wholesale produce distributor near us just started selling retail boxes. They post on Facebook when they are going to be available (it's not everyday) and show a photo and list of what will be included...no toilet paper in any of the pictures :) I signed up today for a box to pickup tomorrow. It includes 11 different fruits/veggies, multiples of some, for $20. You go to their drive-thru line and they load it into your vehicle. It's all done while wearing masks, hairnets, gloves, and doing contactless payments and order confirmation. It looked like they had 600 available and all were ordered in less than 5 hours. I'll see how it works tomorrow. The assortment shown included most all the produce items I was wishing I had. Some earlier ones had several items I have lots of so I did not get them. I'm surprised at how excited I am about tomorrow's pickup!

What a wonderful day indeed! Having met three of the four of you, I can attest that you all got on fabulously and had a lot to talk about! The closest Penzey's to me is about an hour, so I usually drive 7 hours and go to the one in Oak Park IL! Go figure... Love TJ's and Whole Foods, too but again, they're along way from my home in the "boonies". But they are opening a new TJ's this coming summer/fall only 1/2 mile from my work, so I see lots of paychecks being spent there in the near future! Glad you all could get together, and really glad you get to enjoy some sunshine. Not sure when I'll see the sun again around here! LOL Linda

WAIT!! WAIT!!! Don't start ripping it apart yet!! I have done this too! Use a utility blade so that the cut will be nice and neat and cut off the strips along the two sides of the page (you know, where the strap goes through and also the opposite side) Now, you can either slip this "page" into a Creative Memories ..um..think its called a document sleeve...it looks just like a page protector, but it has a white sheet slipped inside and the little hook things that the binding will slip through) OR just glue your "page" right onto a new Creative Memories album page! good luck, and let us know how it turns out! Take heart...I've done this a zillion times!! ~Mar~

I'm having a wonderful day because I don't have to get out in the heat. We broke the record yesterday with a high of 97. Supposed to be 95 today. That's the actual heat, not heat index. So I'm cleaning house, which has been neglected lately. Took the sheets off the bed and they're in the dryer now. Cleaning the Florida room but my back started hurting so I'm taking a break. Sounds like you had a fun morning, Sue. Baby Alyssa must be a really good baby to be able to take her like you do.

Glenda, you are a role model for the rest of us...you go, girl! I walk a minimum of two miles (half uphill) every morning and do a daily 40 minute yoga routine as well. In addition to that, 2-3 days a week are spent clearng brush, thinning trees, stacking firewood and performing other outdoor chores. That slows down in the summer when its so bloody hot outside so I try to make up for it by dancing and doing laps up and down the stairs.

Yes! what a treat. I was hoping to hear about more and more of this. Getting the restaurant suppliers with all that food where it is needed. (did you get a roll of t-p?)

Our restaurant supplier gives us a 3 roll limit. : )

I'm so thrilled for you! It looks fantastic! I think all that good karma you send out is paying off, jasdip : ) Such wonderful news for continuing produce, too. Strange isn't it, that we are all now so excited about things like produce (and TP)? That's a lot of produce, too.

Now that's my kind of raffle! Congratulations, Jasdip, that is some nice looking produce.

I haven't found a shortage of produce at all here, I bought grapes for $1.49 a pound today, and bought potatoes and onions last week, along with apples, mandarins, bananas and Elery's ubiquitous iceburg lettuce. I even bought a rutabaga and some golden beets.

Now watch, I say that and next week I won't find half of it!

Naturegirl, I wish I were closer to anywhere that would do that, I still have to don my face mask and go into the store. I see even Horrock's has curbside pickup, it's a good thing I'm so far away, LOL.

Annie, no shortage of produce when I have shopped either, but I only shop about every 10 days or more. It's great if I can get a touch-less pickup between in-store trips.

Instead of my usual 3-4 visits a week, I shopped Horrocks once in the last month :( My husband and I miss our coffee outings there. One day we made coffee at home and drove over to their parking lot and drank it in the car...just so we could have coffee at Horrocks :) Never left the car, but it still felt good.

We've had varying shortages of produce here -- first there were no potatoes, onions, bananas, ... now it's difficult to find lettuces. When they stock up on things, they're stocking with small amounts.

Jasdip, I hope they are at the top of your favorite stores list even when you aren't winning. :)
