The Next Best Thing to Dinner With Mart.....

[ghopper1924]

....is receiving a box of fresh veggies from her!!

If you'll remember, I won the contest regarding the age of a certain table a few weeks ago. The prize was dinner with Mart. Weeeelllll.....sinc e she's in Texas, and we're in Missouri, the logistics were a bit much. She did, however, promise some veggies as a consolation, and imagine our delight when a box appeared on the ghopper doorstep.

She was as good as her word (really, would you expect anything else?) and MsGhopper is jumping up and down with glee. She used to have a big garden of her own, and recognizes quality goods.

So, tomorrow we'll hoist a fork in Mart's honor.

THANKS MART!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did they arrive in edible condition ??  That's all I could think of that didn`t need refrigeration !!  Then thinking about the USPS,,,, well you know how they are !! And since Ghopper isn`t a tomato person,, he got new potatoes !!  Hope they are OK !!  Mailing veggies is stressful !!  I could imagine them arriving as tomato juice !!

Yes, they arrived in excellent condition. They were well packed. We were amazed that the PS hadn't taken a bigger toll!
