yummy summer fruit

I stumbled across this the other day while my daughter was asking me to buy a pineapple in the store the other day... Pineapple is a pain in the butt to cut... Not with this little gadget... I found it at my local grocery store for under $10... supposedly the way the pineapple smells is a sign of ripeness or lack of smell = lack of ripeness....  Do you have any tips or tricks to tell the ripeness of fruit?

Your body hears EVERYTHING that your mind says. Stay positive and take some time to truly listen to what your body already knows. Willpower is a muscle…the more you use it, the stronger it gets.
Start your day tomorrow and everyday with grateful heart. Be thankful for where you’re going, but don’t forget to be thankful for where you’ve been and how far you’ve come.
