((Mystery)) ouch! Keep feeling better! I had forgotten how close in age your DD24 is to mine, 26.
Enjoying hearing about all the baking going on.
Off dd43 and I went for our faraway adventure today. Lots of enjoyment. We first went out for Thai (always her favorite) and it was delish. Then she insisted we stop at JoAnn's - mostly for me - because it was on the way. Both she and I found things for crafting ourselves and with the children. I found a little lawn mower ornament for ds to open at the party, to be a "thank you note" for all his yard work for us.
Then off to the big variety grocery, where we each immediately found WOW items. She found a chicory coffee she hadn't been able to find in years - her late dh's favorite. In the produce section I was wide-eyed. They had papaya, Adolfo mango, both pink and white dragonfruit. A fellow was just setting out pineapples and I was able to find one very golden. There were only two honeydew left, so I snagged one even though it is a bit large. If I have time to cut a basket, this one couldn't be more perfectly formed.
Many perishable things were tempting, but I only have so much refrigerator space and there will be little room until after the party.
The only fly in the ointment is that most of the things that might be on an ordinary grocery list are not carried there, so HRH wants the two of us to go out first thing in the morning "one more time"! Ugh. Maybe we should, but time is becoming tight, as is fridge space. I'll comfort myself that there might be one more item that I'll be glad I found.
