Harry & David are wonderful but she eats little fruit and no sweets
because at her age (80) she's able to manage her Type II diabetes via
diet alone (trading off for that that nightly cocktail, I guess? LOL)
She still plays tennis 2x/week and golf 1x/week, so she's no invalid.
She just is careful. She lives alone so doesn't need a large quantity of
anything. I'm thinking wine and cheese could be good, but want to find
the right purveyor. I'll look at that Amana Colonies. Don't they do a
good blue cheese?
