Last Saturday I asked the manager at Detweiler’s if the farm market was getting another shipment of mangoes. He said on Monday, which is today August 14th, it will be the last local delivery of mangoes.
Those mangoes were so good I’m gonna make sure I get me a crap load.
Been having a lot of the cut-up watermelon and cantaloupe and now I’m ready for a new fruit binge.
Also last Saturday I also noticed that I was down to three Prozac capsules. So, I called the pharmacy to refill the prescription. It’ll be ready today after 4:00.
