VERDICT: 

I apologize for the late posting but since last week’s posting, we have had 3 false labor alarms and the squeakers/testers stayed at their cousin’s place. I have not had any false labor issues with the girl squeakers labor (and/or water breaking) just happened, went to the hospital, had baby girl. This little boy is different.

I digress, because of above, we have a ton of stone fruit that has gone uneaten. Fortunately we have a family gathering today down south in the far suburbia of Chicagoland and we will share our Imperfect bounty. I still plan on making an Imperfect Produce order this coming week but it may be a smaller order because of the new impending squeaker arrival.
