LOL!

My father in law (RIP) used to send us his first tomatoes. He’d actually put them in a box and mail them to us USPS. They almost always arrived with every tomato entirely intact, and we had the best BLTs for a few days every July.

We’ve really missed that, the last few years - not just the tomatoes, but the love and pride that he took in his garden, and the satisfaction he got from it.

I know you’ve mentioned his tomatoes before. That is such a lovely memory.
