Harvest Time in AZ

Hi to friends and family!

Wow another week has flew by and I need to send another update or one of the Childrens will be giving me a call. Just Kidding!

Well who would have thought that when you retire you would be harvesting fruit in your back yard. We have a ruby red grapefruit and a tangerine tree. I guess we have a orange tree but it never bears any fruit so we thought it was just a tree of some kind tell a individual who has a yard care service was digging out some Bogenvia (sp) in our back yard told us it was a orange tree . Well we picked a couple dozen grapefruit and there is still at least three times that left on the tree. We picked 6 tangerines that is all it beared this year because trees only produce a lot of fruit every other year. Last years crop froze because of the week of below freezing temps last January. See how educated we are getting at this old age. Well back to our fruit we made grapefruit/tangerine juice. It made half a gallon of grapefruit and a quart of tangerine/orange juice. A friend gave me some oranges so we put them together.

I also bowled this week "need some practice in that game" but it was fun and it is nice that for the most part everyone there is there just to have fun.

We are going to golf this afternoon with our neighbors next door they live in Oregon and are not fully retired yet so will be leaving us next week. Jerry has been reading his book Kim gave him for Christmas " Zen Golf" he is finding out how to not be frustrated with his game. There is a lot of food for thought in this book.

Had a couple rainy days other wise it has been sunny. In fact Monday when I was driving to bowling I thought I was in WA gray skys, pouring rain, freeway was packed with bumper to bumper traffic. This was at 9:00am guess they have their days also.

Hope this finds all our family and friends well we are fine and love and miss you all. Barb
