Sorry about yesterday. I sort of fell asleep while typing a message using Kindle. Must have been tired. We dropped our van off at the dealership’s service department. We were told that all we actually needed was to rotate the tires. Well, come to find out, we had not had an oil change since November, 2018. I am positive we brought the van in prior to heading North, but they had no record. While the van was on the lift there were other questionable areas and before long they were getting ready to close. We were given a loaner and headed for home. We didn’t shop nor stopped anywhere on route. Both of us were concerned with the car rental and mileage. Yesterday I awoke early. The Service department opens at 7am and I wanted to be up and about by 9 am just in case. No phone call by noon or 1 pm. Phoned after 2 pm van was ready. Headed out. Traffic of course was bumper to bumper. We had to stop for gas since we were told that the vehicle should be half full. It took us until 4 something to get there. The van runs good. Being that the highway was a bottleneck or rather a parking lot, we took the slower road North. Loads of traffic lights, but cars were moving. We made one stop for the Farmer’s Market. They were not busy. I was greeted with Bing Cherries. Bing Cherries in February, unheard of. Bing Cherries less than $5.99/lb, unheard of. Bing Cherries at $1.49 in February, definitely unheard of. But there it was. Sweet Bings for $1.49/lb I bought two full bags. I have to say they are so sweet and plump. Yes, they had dragon furit, but no blueberries. Had a wonderful time. And the dragon fruit, a beauty. I will try to find blueberries tomorrow. I see Aldi’s has it on sale this week. Of course there is always Costco. I also picked up Sirloin Burgers at $4.99/lb. Everything is put away and now there is much need items in the freezer. I did look for the pink pineapple. Non around. This was not a can, but fresh. It was delicious and now I wish I had purchased more. Oh, they had also freshly made clam chowder. Made from scratch
by the Amish. I would have made my own if there were clams around that were not FARM fed. These are from my back yard up North. Fresh caught. YUM>>>>>😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Hubby’s surgery has been postponed. I have informed our physician that we will need to see a
cardiologist. Will keep at it until we get an appointment. The physician’s Assistant is not good at remembering for the follow through. This should be the faster route. Besides, they also received a copy of the ECHO from last week and this now can be faxed to the cardiologist. Now, I’m going to rest. Lost track of days because of the work on the van. I thought today was Thursday. Garbage and Recyclable day tomorrow. Glad it is Wednesday. Still the week is going too fast.

I read your post from last night and was too tired to respond. Mother’s Day is the second Sunday in May and starting now is not too early to think about it. My mom always enjoyed a necklace any time of the year along with either cologne or perfume. However, her first love were chocolates and tiny gum drops that you see around Easter. I also just started sending fruit and chocolates to friends up North. It’s funny in that I didn’t use anyone from Florida. For some reason the fruit arrived moldy and of course not appetizing. So I now use the Fruit Factory which is out of Washington. I did both fruit and candy and there are accolades all over the place in my e- mails. The company is expensive, but they do have sales that really make everything reasonable. I hope this helps in someway.
