I love to envision you picking my food with gratitude, Jane…. I want you to know that I went on to eat it with the same smile, thinking of you and how awesome it is to be eating fresh organic local food!
I am definitely coming to yoga on Thursday morning and I want to get another box like I got last week. I will also bring you eggs OK!
Namaste
