Strawberry Basket Premium Jigsaw Puzzle

I had an eventful sat. am - hubby was in the kitchen and the cutting board fell on him. Blood everywhere. He comes and tells me what happened and then says oh do ya think that a walk in clinic will be able to fix me. I said I'm sure that they've seen worse. He ended up needing stitches. The doc said this injury happens all the time. On the wall of the exam room was a photo of the Grand Canal in Venice Italy. Then the doc told us about a trip with his wife. At a restaurant she wanted risotto - but it wasn't on the menu. The owners daughter told them if it's a double order they'll make it. So they ate Shrimp and mushroom rissoto. I love that dish. Now have 2 jobs - both offered within 1 hr.

Happy to hear things are looking up for you and sorry about your hubby's mishap. I just got the yen for shrimp myself and made it with sauteed onions, orange peppers, black olives rice and dices tomatoes. It came out really good.

Hey Cool - I was quite proud of myself one day! Those two women that I used to drive. I was sick and the daughter called me one day. She says "say I wanna ask you if you can do me a favor. Then says didja look up that phone number for me. I firlmly said NO! I haven't. She says we'll when are you and I said NO! I'm not and hung up. I'm too busy to deal with ppl who play phone games.

Good for you, Carol. Nobody neds leeches in their lives and that's what those two are.

The mother is normal it's the daughter. What I really don't understand is that this mother needed to go to the ER - she's 86 and the daughter calls a friend - not me! A woman at that age I would have called an ambulance.

I know of many Presidents who should have followed this advice! Thanks for the reminder, Aussie! Abundant blessings for the new week.

Love strawberries but raspberries I love even more.
Have a good sleep Aussiesapphire.

Thanks nborchardt, how is your grandson (7yo) - hugs.

Hi barbaranne, hope you are much better now and that pesky leg is listening to the healing voice of our Lord and Saviour. Hugs.

He has the MRI on the 23rd, I think. When someone gives you that kind of news, you listen for the details, but the details sort of get pushed to the side, at least for me, under the huge effect of the bad news. I will let you know. Thanks for asking, Aussie.

This is such a trying time, nborchardt. You're in my prayers and your grandson is in God's loving hands.

Thank you, Aknan. I truly believe in God's healing power and prayers of friends.

Two of my favourite people on here, aknan who is beautiful inside and out and nborchardt because she appears to be the same sort of person. I am so blessed to be getting to know each of them - one thing I will not forget their names heheheh. Hugs.

Thank you for the compliment, aussie! Many hugs..

:) {{{{HUGS}}}} aknan

Thanks, Aussie! How very kind! My grandson had the MRI and it was clear....Thank God!!

Praise God. So happy for all concerned and that the power of prayer, once again, shows forth. Hugs.

Awww - I've had migraines like that. Hope you feel better. When I was doing papers we didn't even have internet and software to type up the papers. Good luck on your paper!

Thank you Carol. I finished my paper 5:00 in the morning after working on it all day and night. I just hope I get a decent grade on it. It is a 250 pointer. I still get headaches but not as bad. I took some Migraine med and hopefully that helps.

Don't know if you're aware but looking at a computer screen much too long can cause headaches.

Carol, I think that might part of why I am getting headaches again. It is also stress over my husband's health. He is going through so much with breathing. Even with the humidity being down, he is still having troubles breathing. I will be so glad when school is over and I can focus on him. I just worry about paying this off if I can't work.

Strawberries are my favorite fruit, but I have had none this summer so far, they all look so pathetic. I still have hope!! Blessings!

I am thinking of planting strawberry bushes as well as blueberry. I am not sure about raspberries yet. We get some nice berries at Krogers. They are better than Walmarts.

Gina, and all, there is a type of strawberry that we can sometimes find at our local grocery that is small and somewhat oblong. They are not the most attractive strawberry among the bigger, plumper (usually tasteless) ones, but they are SO sweet. I love it when we can find them.

I went searching on the internet and found what I think are the strawberries I mentioned; alpine strawterries. Here's a pic of some unripened ones.

I will look for these. Thanks!

I love strawberries when they're in season. Otherwise, they just don't taste right!

Trynfindit I agree, those small ones are usually tastier, but I can't always find them

I looked up that link on Pinterest - the white ones aren't even ripe. I've had the big ones. Speaking of Strawberries - at a grocery store I saw a woman sticking her hands in each basket. Then picking certain ones and putting them in her basket. If she didn't like them she'd put them back. I went omg! and she gets mad lol

I hate people who do that, Carol. Ready to thwack them over the head and say, take what's given to you! It's fair to everyone, right? Anyway, she got mad, and I would have asked...why are you mad? Then when she got madder, I would have said, have a great day, given her a big smile and walked away to let he fume in peace. More than likely still picking over strawberries too!

I love strawberries too. We have some nice strawberry fields here in Virginia.

Vine-ripened strawberries are scrumptious! How I'd love to have some right now!!!

Oops -- they're not "vine" fruit, but I hope you get my gist, that is, sun-ripened and full of robust flavor before picking.

Growing up I had a Strawberry patch. Even had netting to prevent the squirrels getting into them. Nope didn't work lol
