I jokingly told my mom and the Hubby that instead of flowers at the hospital, I wanted an edible fruit arrangement that I could devour all by myself to satisfy my fresh fruit craving. When I got home from the hospital, this was waiting on my table.
It didn't come from my family though. It came from my friend Susan and her daughter Christina. Isn't it just lovely?! Isn't it calling to you to dig right in? I put the baby in the Queen's arms, hugged my other little people, and immediately sat down to nibble on any and everything covered in chocolate. Before I knew it, all the chocolate covered goodness was gone {kids helped . . . a little} and I had to move on to the delicious melons. There were flowers waiting at my house too - and they were lovely - but this gift was so very appreciated. I will definitely be giving this to someone else sometime.
Two days ago we took a family walk over to our friends the Mecks house. We were the beneficiaries of their bounteous garden and came home with enough fresh summer veggies {I know tomatoes are fruits} to make a silly face! The kids had fun arranging each piece. Now if only they'd eat the veggies with such enthusiasm!

I love fruit baskets. So creative.
You have great friends I think because you are a great friend.
Summer fruits and Veggies are the best....my advice, eat all you can.
Sharing a computer can cause problems especially when commenting.
Almost too good to eat. Almost, but not quite.
What thoughtful friends!
I knew the above comment wasn't from Kernal Ken. How funny that I was right.
You have wonderful friends and I'm so glad that your fruit wish was fulfilled.
Christina and I are love that you loved the fruit basket. I agree with the Queen Vee, you are a great friend and I am so grateful for our friendship.
Super Yum! Fruit is way better than flowers any day!
