Fruit of the vine - Day 1739 (Year 5, Day 270)

Zephyrhills, FL

Well, not really of the vine - more like a tree.  About 2 months ago (I don't remember if I wrote about this previously), we found a fruit tree near the laundry room.  We thought they were little round pears, but when we brought it home, discovered they were small red grapefruits.  They were really sweet and wonderful, if you like red grapefruit.

Today, we learned of a clump of 3 other trees near the office - loquats.  I didn't discover the tree myself -- our next door neighbor who has the "farm" and chickens and bring us fresh eggs every now & then, brought us a few of these tiny fruits and told us about the trees.  They are really, really delicious!!!  Kind of tastes like a mixure of peach, citrus and mango.



On Mitch's job front, still nothing yet but the seeds are starting to sprout.  He's been getting a few calls and had 2 interviews so far (in fact, he's on the phone with another recruiter right now).  He also learned about a company that was doing what he did before for the gas company.  Several folks from his old company are working there now.  He's pretty sure he can get work with them, and it may be a good plan while he still explores his Plan B of getting back into IT.

Will keep ya'all posted.
