8. I've always been a bit of a fruit...fanatic!!!!


This look exactly like the old Hy-Vee.
#8. Momma gave me my love of all things fruity!

My godmother, Shirley, used to comment, "I never had any trouble taking Chuck through the candy or cookie aisles. He never wanted any of that. But if I walked down the produce aisle, it'd cost me a fortune!" Candy was something we had for special events, but the real show stopper for snack, dessert, or any meal was fruit. Summers, thanks to swim team, meant we spent many a hot day cooling off with with iced tea and fresh fruit.



My favorite fruit, the nectarine, is a fruit that many people I talk to have never even tried. I credit my momma for making me a healthier eater as a child -- to this day, though the sweet tooth did come with age, I can still replace the dessert with fruit.
