Ruby Red

For Christmas, we didn't exchange gifts but decided each of us could pick one thing we really wanted. Eric decided on a subscription to the Marion Chronicle (...and a GPS for the car, yet to be purchased) and Brittany picked a bushel of Ruby Red Grapefruit (not literally).

Our Ruby Red came express shipped from a farm in southern Texas and is absolutely exquisite. Last night, our first taste of our bushel sat in front of us, tempting us with gigantic semi-firm yellowish grapefruit. We took some pictures to savor the event in the bitter cold we are experiencing, and let us tell you, it was WELL worth it. They were divine! If we only eat one a day, they should last us to the end of February but I doubt we'll make it that far.

Here's to hoping you all have simple pleasures to get you through till spring!
