after all these years I'm really spoiled... They're best when it's like eating pure sugar

They were excellent and so was the Shortcake. The sights weren't all that bad either. Lots of young talent running around.

well dang that means I'll have to drive over for a few flats while I'm on my way to therapy.
Anyone know how much they were going a flat this year???

not yet. I've been busy getting kicked out of therapy for a month (over did it & the ankle is inflammed)
I haven't heard how much flats are running yet. A couple of the girls at therapy want flats and I need to check with the neighbors yet too. Last year's strawberry trip I brought back 10 flats. Most of my beach neighbors like a flat of fresh berries.
