Last Saturday Joey got a call from a member of our ward who was trimming the citrus trees at his mother's home. He invited us to come and take whatever we wanted and to call other families too. We called around, and he was not kidding when he said we should bring a truck. There were truckloads of oranges and grapefruits. And we weren't just picking a bag of fruit like I thought we were. The kids were up in the trees, helping load the cut branches into the truck, and sort through the bad fruit. It was a serious clean up effort.
Some of the fruit was bad, but oh, there were plenty of grapefruits. We piled bags and bags into the truck and then they just started dumping them in. Anyone like grapefruit? When we got home we threw out what was bad and then bagged up the rest. Joey was able to get rid of all of it at church the next day. I ended up coming home with more little girls than I arrived with. It's always fun when we are carrying a few extras in the car.
