Living in a rural community miles from Miami where we lived for 30 years, it took a little while to get to know people.Our first experience of peoples generosity was the endless ,unlimited grapes which we made into wine, jelly and juice.Our next fruitful venture was an offer of a tree full of pears. We had admired the tree several weeks before ,little knowing that we were to be a victim oops i mean beneficiary of the trees owner.
The phone rang and we answered, it was a voice saying when do we want to pick the pears. We looked at each other and said maybe later. So we took a few plastic bags and went over. After about an hour and half we had a trunk full ,said a hasty thanks and left. fortunately we were going to visit relatives and took a lot of the pears to them re gifting I think is acceptable.
We still had about 20 pounds of pears and where not sure what to do with them. Let us sleep on that.
