Project 365 – #113 Yum!  We picked up our first Bountiful Basket order this morning.  All of the veggies and fruit look so delicious.  We’ll definitely be enjoying them this weekend.  In addition to the regular order, we also ordered a case of bananas.  We’ll eat quite a few now and I’ll freeze more for smoothies later.

On Wednesday morning, I decided to complete the project in the morning as I knew that we’d be headed to D’s pre-operation appointment in the afternoon.  We…
