LRM had another piano recital on Friday night. She was the first to perform and played LIghtly Row. After her performance she said that she really likes to go first. Now, if only I can get her to brush her hair!

Bountiful Basket

Today I tried my first Bountiful Basket, a local produce co-op. I got all of this for $27 which includes one "basket," a tropical fruit "add-on," my first-time basket fee, and a small handling charge. I may have been able to get all of this at Superstition Ranch Market for about the same price, but it was way more fun this way. I just placed my order online and picked it up this morning.

Here is approximately what is in my basket: 1 pineapple, 1 head of lettuce (bib, I think), 1 bunch of spinach, 2 bunches of scallions, 1 bunch of celery, 1 bunch of brocolli, 1 bunch of radishes, 12 bananas, 3 mangos, 1 p0und of strawberries, 1 pint of cherry tomatoes, 12 ounces of raspberries, 4 huge kiwis, 5 key limes, 14 peaches, 7 pears, and a coconut.

I can't wait to dig in. Now if only I can figure out what to do with radishes. I hate radishes...

What I Got For Free Today

Ok, so the other day I bought a large wall map of the USA at Costco. I got it home and hung it in the playroom. My girls know how to locate Arizona, Washington, Washington D.C., South Carolina, and Oklahoma because that is where we live or have lived or have family. I was crushed to see that Oklahoma City was not designated as the state capital of Oklahoma so I immediately sent an email to the map company to complain. Today they sent me a globe to make up for it! It's not big, but it's a free globe!!
