The citrus trees are full of fruit. Mom and Dad were so happy to see free grapefruit and tangerines on the table at church. Mom talked about how delicious they were.
Yesterday I took Eric to the dermatologist to have a wart removed. He had a 3:45 appointment. If you go to this Dr. you know that you have to call at your appointment time and find out what your REAL appointment time is. They said to come at 5:00. We did. We waited awhile and then I went outside to make a phone call. I noticed a grapefruit tree and a tangerine tree dripping with fruit. I pulled off some grapefruit. I went back in the office and waited some more. I found out that our REAL appointment time was really 6:00. We went back to see the Dr. and I asked if I could have a grapefruit off their tree. Luckily he said yes. The Dr. said to try the tangerines which are the sweetest I would ever find. He said the only thing was that they have thin skin so it takes longer to peal. I never thought about the skin of a tangerine being thick or thin, but then I'm not a dermatologist.
I went back to the trees after the appointment and picked enough to give Mom and Dad some. This morning Mom said the grapefruit were delicious (they were because I had one too). I'm wondering if Mom enjoys the free grapefruit more because they are free.
That story reminds me of the dentist we had in Virginia. When I went to my appointment he gave me some fish he caught the day before. It was also delicious. Does anyone else have a similar story?
It had been a really long time since I had gone to the dermatologist, who had a really fat cow behind his office. When he saw me coming back, he gave me some of the best steaks ever!
LOL UT!
How biblical. The return of the prodigal patient. Moo.
