Bless her heart. She begged me not to get her anything.

At Christmas, she didn't want anything. She insisted upon it. So I made a charitable donation in her name and "adopted" a Bald Eagle on her behalf.

Now her birthday is approaching (April 10th), but I've known for a month what I would get her.

Chukar Cherries.

It's perfect. She already has everything she could need, so food is really the best gift she could get (aside from books, but she's such a voracious reader that there's a good chance I would get her something she already read). She is forever going on about how not enough things are made in the Good Ole' US of A anymore, and Chukar Cherries is a local company using products that are produced here in Washington.

I was at the Chukar Cherries store in Pike Place Market 4 weeks ago, and I sampled their chocolate cherries. Delicious, and they have a gift assortment that comes in a box decorated with various Seattle landmarks. Perfect. The particular gift set I got her also comes with a jar of their cherry pecan caramel popcorn.

Well, this:

Anyway...I think she'll like it. And my folks will likely be there that weekend for her birthday celebration/Easter, so hopefully they can all enjoy it.

I do that sometimes too. She likes to go out to lunch with her friends after church sometimes, and she likes Panera, Cheddars or Bob Evans.

That's what I planned to do this year until I tried Chukar Cherries. They're yummy, and you can't get them in Ohio. Not as far as I know.
