Happy New Year from the Eberharts and everyone who brings you great Fruit From Washington gift boxes of apples and pears, gourmet gift food products and classic garden goods! Holidays are always hectic, aren't they? We enjoyed speaking to many of you who called during the past month. The names and voices of repeat customers are becoming very familiar to us. We appreciate your return business greatly! Thank you for your patronage and patience when the phone lines got busy or the online store decided to have a bad hair day . There'll always be a few glitches, we suppose, it's the ability to keep one's good humor which does wonders in working things out!

Ring out the old, ring in the new;
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
- Alfred Tennyson, In Memoriam

In Your Own Words—
Mom received the fruit last night. She said the apples are perfect! It's impossible to get a decent apple in Texas. E.E. - 12/14/01

Thank you for the great Christmas Package.. The apples and pears are great.... I'm making sure I get my share of them.. In fact, we even let the UPS man have a pear since he did wait around until we got the package open.... Again, thanks and have a great day... D.D - 12/13/01

Thank you for your excellent service. Indeed, we will order from your company in the future. L.S. - 12/11/01

From a few conversations overheard during 2001—
"Never feed an apple when a carrot will do." - Cory's instructions to Bruce on the best horse treat for Sammy who's young and can eat anything compared to Shammie who turns thirty this year and has difficulty chewing those big, tough winter carrots. He much prefers juicy jonagolds, galas, and winter bananas.

"Don't tell me you can't see love in a kitty's eyes." - A remark made about dinky, misnamed, Elvis, who to Cory and Bruce's chagrin, turned out to be a girl kitty. Apparently these things happen.

"Frankly, I don't like their selection of argyle here at all." - Comment overheard in an up-scale pro-shop. Bruce, what were you doing there anyway? We thought you were a Pasture Golfer!

Are You an Avid Reader and Book Buff? Take this Reading Quiz and see how you score! We read an article in The Herb Companion (December 2000-January 2001) titled, “Taking Stock” by Geri Laufer. While it was designed to rate your gardening year, we decided to adapt it in the form of a Reading Habits Quiz. We hope that our quiz will pose some useful questions that will prompt you to look back over the past year and ahead to the next. Click for the quiz that rates your reading habits!
