Hi! I’m blogging a little early today because it is Monday and you know what that means…..Bingo tonight! I’m settling in nicely into my retirement schedule: Monday is Bingo, Tuesday  is swimming, Wednesday is Card Bingo….yeah, and it goes on and on….I love it!

Anyways, today we went to pick fruit….we’ve done this many times before and it is always something I look forward to. Yep, I’ve got some pictures!!!

I see the prices have gone up from last year…..hey, to be expected……

Yeah, they have “pets” here…sheep, miniature horses, and roosters!

You use these tools to get the fruit off the tree that is high off the ground…..I’ll show ya how to use it

Okay, got my bucket – follow me!

Ohhh, there they are……

See, there are plenty around…..

They have oranges and grapefruits…....let’s get to work!

We were there for about 30 minutes and look at all we picked! There were five us there picking fruit and filling up the buckets!

This place is pretty big….rows and rows of trees……

I found a lemon tree too!

Time to come home and make some fresh juice. We usually use our electric juicer, but decided to try this contraption out. Don’t ask me how old this thing is, but it sure works great! I guess we had it hanging around the house and decided to bring it with us. This is the first I’m seeing of this thing…..

Well, that’s all we did today. Off to Bingo and tomorrow I’m off to see the movie Avatar!!! I’ll let ya know how it is without spoiling it for you! Have a good night. Chat tomorrow!
