Glad I came back to fix my mistake. You did such a lovely job for the tribute with the books and the different foods. You are amazing! I agree, one of my favorites was your crate with 60 years of Harvest too! Glad I got to participate!

And it's Apple Week. The treachery! When I awoke, I saw your comment and email. Knock me over with a feather. Child, you can keep a secret.
