………………….When I was three years old my family moved from Brooklyn to Long Island……There were still lots of farms, even a dairy farm. I was friends with a classmate who’s father owned the dairy farm, and we used to play in the barn climbing on the hay bales…..There were lots of fruit trees on many of these farms…..and lots of apples…….However, the apples I remember, and liked the best were the apples from my grandfather’s tree. He owned a house in Brooklyn, with quite a sizable piece of land. He had grape vines that he used to make his wine with….fig trees, a peach tree…….and a huge apple tree…..When we used to go and visit he always picked fresh apples off the tree and gave them to us to eat…….They were the most DELICIOUS APPLES I ever ate, but I never new the name of them. I doubt he knew either……My whole life I have tried many many apples. Jac and I used to take rides to the apple orchards up state to buy small bushels of apples, but I could never find any that tasted like my grandfathers!……Then I tried McCouns, and they were the closest to the ones my grandfather had……crisp and slightly tart……..They are my FAVORITE apples!……….WHICH ARE YOUR FAVORITE APPLES?????………………..Just a reminder………….tomorrow October 5th at 1:00pm….EST……….Cathy and I will be presenting a Fall FACEBOOK LIVE SHOW…….There are great SALE PRICES….higher than we have had in the past……..if you can…come and join us for fun and stories!
