CROPS -- DINNER WITH THE HOOD

When we got back to Yuma Mary said that her Grapefruit tree had no fruit on it because when she added the extra room and porch they had to remove half the tree. So we were surprised when this Grapefruit terned yellow inside the tree. So our Grapefruit harvest was one. Neither one of us can eat Grapefruit (conflicts with our meds) so we gave it to some friends.

We can how ever eat tomato's. We bought this "Grape" tomato plant and it was going gang busters until we had a cold snap. It never got to freezing but close enough for a tomato plant. It is still growing and will soon have more fruit. We (Mary) has had three tomatoes all ready. ($5 divided by 3 = ??)

We bought another tomato and put it with our Sweet Basil that we got in Colorado. The Basil plant will go and another tomato plant will replace it.

DINNER WITH THE HOODAbout twenty of our neighbors got together last night and went to the City Golf Club for "all you can eat" fish and chips.

The other end of the table. One couple couldn't make it but we placed a call to them in San Diego and had the waitress ask them if it was true that they were to be billed for the dinner. They declined.

What we came for. The fish was good as were the fries. As you can see the breading on the fish wasn't up to my standards.

One of us didn't want fish so he had this great "Club Salad"

The evening was capped off with a lovely desert sunset!
