I learned something new again today. It was such a mystery why there are so many organges on the trees and no one seems in a hurry to pick them. I thought maybe it was a Zucchini thing, where everyone has so much and the neighbors don't want it either. Today I asked a lady about it and learned that the orange trees with split trunks are for decoration only. The fruit is only good for whiskey sours and marmalade. The single trunk trees are the real deal. Also, everyone paints their tree trunks white - that's for decoration also.
We spent the last two days in Phoenix. Visited with Bernie and JoAnne (friends of Gary's); went to rummage sales in Sun City and visited a doll house shop. Tonight we packed the car. We're leaving on the dreaded long drive home tomorrow at 7:00am.
I like Arizona - I'll come back again. The weather is wonderful. I don't know if I could ever become a desert rat, though. I keep looking for green grass.
See you all in a few days.
