Free Organic Fresh From Florida Oranges!

Today we received a better than imagined gift. Rich works at a cold shipping factory. Ever wonder where all those semis that you pass on the highway are going? This is one of their destinations. Anyhow, one of the drivers just came up from Florida with two huge crates of organic oranges and left them for the taking. No one else wanted anything to do with them *cuz they’re not super pretty like the over sprayed, fertilized, irradiated oranges you see in the stores* so he brought home both crates. I had to weigh them. Together, they’re 90 pounds! And as we also have over half the crate left from Nanna’s, we are in orange heaven!! I tried to put a pic here, but it got corrupted in the transfer on the floppy. (Yes, a 3 1/2" floppy. Dino ages I know, but I haven't gotten a usb stick yet.)

Now I have to add in here the power of intention and manifestation, and how once again it works every time. Here’s the story:

So last year, Rich was working in Chicago and commuting home once a week. Throughout the winter months, Nanna receives huge boxes—30 to 40 lbs. each—of organic oranges and grapefruit from her 90+ year old ex-father-in-law. She usually gives most away, as she’s just one person and can’t eat them all. Knowing how much we went through oranges at that time (at least a crate a week) she would lovingly send them home with Rich. What a gift!!

Now that Rich is working closer to home, he doesn’t see Nanna regularly anymore. You get the drift. After we returned home last week, I was deeply wishing, as money is super tight right now, that we could somehow still pick up the oranges Grandpa’s sure to send, but couldn’t see a cost-effective way, either through posting or driving, so I figured, “Bummer,” and left it at that.

~~~smiling~~~ Thank you spirit. . . . Now where to put them all . . . . . .LOL . . in our tummies of course!!

Manifestations to all,
