Thanks for the response ...and the suggestions Lisa.
I will follow up on contacting the local educational resources.That is a very good idea.

I don't fault a biz for trying to make a living,but $17+ for shipping a bundle of strawberries...egads,doesn't seem right.I saw the offerings at Raintree and Burntridge,but both are well out of range for me.One Green World in Portland has them reasonably priced (all things considered) but again,out of range.I do have a friend in the area,but he suffers from Agoraphobia,and although he might be willing to brave it,I wouldn't put that on him.

Wasn't so long ago,that the wife and I would hop in the car and round trip Portland (240+miles 1 way),but these days all the pit stops add too much time to the trip.

Sux getting old.
