Yesterday we received a package from dear friends from TX. In a recent phone conversation, she'd shared that their orange crop was about ready for harvest. I told how the oranges we get here in MT are tough, tasteless and pithy, but that Mike's mom had brought fresh oranges, once from CA and they were so juicy they just melted in your mouth. See below, what our gifts were, yes, gifts, not just oranges.........
but pecans from their trees and two
Taste of Home Cookbooks for Cortney. In the photo is just a sample of the oranges, we've eaten 5-6 already and there are still 14-15 for our mouths to savory, Ummm, Ummm
Thank you Tom and Irene, you certainly hit the spot!

Isn't that the coolest thing??? The desire of your hearts were fresh oranges, and you got that, and more!!! Friends like that are most certainly a blessing from the Lord!
And those don't come easy. Enjoy!!!

What wonderful friends! I love those cookbooks. Cortney will enjoy them, I bet.
I always remember how the girls in "Little House on the Prairie" were so excited to get oranges as their Christmas presents. :o)
