Harvest Time

Little did we know that we would have to harvest fruit when we retired. As you can see in the pictures we have a healthy tree of Tangelo's. Jerry is picking the ones that Barb can't reach she picks the low hanging fruit. We picked one plastic grocery bag of these and got over a quart of juice and we also have a grapefruit tree on the side of the house and he picked 10 it filled a bag and we got a half gallon of juice. So we been juicing because no way can you eat all of these. We have given some to the neighbors and still have lots to pick. The picture of the fruit on the table is our second picking.

Sorry to rub it in but yesterday and today have been really nice days with sun and temps up to 70. In the morning around 7:15 it is very chilly though Barb's feet and hands get very cold when she is walking. Barb has started walking with Jerry's cousins wife Jill so that is fun. We walk a little over a mile that is all she cares to walk but it gives us time to chat and get to know one another better. When Barb walks by myself she has been walking about 2 miles at a time.

We have been back a week and it has been a busy week. Barb started bowling the winter league started Monday the 4th and then she bowls on Tuesday with the league that she was bowling with before the holidays. Wednesday Jill invited us to go play bingo at Sun Lakes a development about 4 miles from us they have good jackpots. Jerry generally never wants to go but he felt lucky so went along and he won 32.00 dollars and Jill won 22.00 dollars. Barb did not win, the big jackpot was 735.00 but we did not win that one but it sure would have been nice. We had fun and was a cheep night out it only cost between 10 and 20 dollars depending on how many games you want to play.

Thursday Jerry and Barb decided to go golfing at a development next door that we haven't played only 9 holes at so we decided to do 18 holes. Well little did we know that it was Canadian day at this golf course and they got to golf for 20 bucks. We had to pay 22 with a discount coupon didn't see fair but it was very busy I think all of Canada was there. But we met a nice gentleman from WI who they paired up with us and we had a great time.

Friday our next door neighbors from Oregon arrived so been chatting with them over the fence.

Saturday we went to a ND and SD dinner get together but no one there from the towns we lived in.

Today we are having some friends over for dinner and play some cards. That pretty much wraps up the week.

Do hope this finds all our family and friends in WA drying out from the horrible weather you all are having. You make the news both in the paper and tv with all the problems up there in WA.
