 RH> From the orchard to us.

As I figured...  :)  And picked at peak....

 NB>> Did Steve take the bad ones back to Harris Teeter....?

 RH> No, just added them to the compost bucket.

I might have wanted to let them know that they were that bad, in case

 NB>> I'm sure they did...  :)   One less thing to have to think about
 NB>> when one is zonked from traveling...  ;)
