Bountiful Baskets

A few weeks ago, I was reading a blog, and found something new I wanted to try. It is called Bountifulbaskets.org. I signed up and tried it out, and I was VERY pleased. For $15.00, I received the following:

3 Huge Grapefruit - haven't tried them yet

6 ears of corn - sent them with Landon to a barbeque
2 cucumbers - still in the fridge :( I need to get busy !
8 apples - THE BEST I have ever tasted (no lie)
3 tomatoes - VERY good for this time of year
1 pineapple - VERY GOOD
1 butternut squash - NYEAH.... we're not squash people
1 bunch of bananas - VERY GOOD
1 honeydew melon - NYEAH....we're not honeydew people
1 carton of strawberries - VERY GOOD
1 big package of spinach - EXCELLENT !!
7 small yams - Haven't tried them yet

I think everyone should check this out ! Basically, you order online on Tues/Wed of each week, and pick up on Saturday at 8am. On the first order you pay $3.00 for a couple of baskets, plus there is a $1.50 handling fee each time. My closest pickup place is in Uintah at the mouth of Weber Canyon, at their town hall by the park. They have pickup places ALL over Utah, Idaho and Arizona. Manda, are you reading this ?? I know you guys love fresh vegatables !

You don't have to order every week, (I skipped a week), and they also have other things you can add to the basic order. The basic vegetable/fruit order (see above), changes, and you never know just what you will get. I signed up again today (for this coming Saturday), and Teresa and Stacy joined it also. We are going to carpool down the canyon. Anyone else interested? Go to bountifulbaskets.org and sign up, then you'll be ready to order next Tuesday. They'll even send you an email to remind you !!

Class Act

Just prior to the start of the Air Force-BYU football game, Sept. 22, 2009, this video was broadcast in the BYU stadium in Provo , Utah . Later, the USAF Academy Superintendent, LtGen Gould, showed this clip to the faculty and staff. He told everyone that BYU ran it minutes before the kickoff at the game. He was clearly moved by it, as were those who watched it.
