Granny Bingham's place is just a field now. <br />Also, we went to Harlingen and did some shopping on Jackson Street - antiques! And yes I did spend money. <br />I was able to visit with our cousin, Jimmy. He and Jerry look so much alike. I took his picture and will share it with you.Marie Christopherhttp://ladygrande.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446336965929100620.post-46117940067975744272011-05-30T15:09:50.163-07:002011-05-30T15:09:50.163-07:00I remember Aunt Edna and Rickey bringing a sack of...I remember Aunt Edna and Rickey bringing a sack of grapefruit once and I cut into one and realized it was a lemon!! It was very good and still sweet so I hate it anyway and it was very juicy and good!! Edna and Lenora were both very good to me and provided most if not all of my school clothes for a while. If it weren't for them and Audrey's hand-me-downs , I don't know what I would have worn to school!Patriciahttp://yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446336965929100620.post-83735707902090011242011-05-30T13:50:15.794-07:002011-05-30T13:50:15.794-07:00We did stop at a fruit stand near Robstown and bou...We did stop at a fruit stand near Robstown and bought some wonderfully tasty fruit we are enjoying: juicy melons, sweet oranges, black diamond watermelon, and yummy cantaloup.nitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02826057050763054196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446336965929100620.post-65241420379515201302011-05-30T08:25:59.388-07:002011-05-30T08:25:59.388-07:00Nita... thanks for bringing memories flooding back...Nita... thanks for bringing memories flooding back to me this morning! My Aunt Marion & Uncle Elmer lived in Lyford, a little town 4 miles south of Raymondville. I have fond memories of going with my parents to visit them....gazing with wonder at the long lines of palm trees... stopping at fruit stands to get fruit and going to different places to pick oranges ourselves. And YES, huge lemons. My uncle's brother had a tree in his backyard that produced giant ones!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446336965929100620.post-76934184272799484922011-05-29T22:24:07.577-07:002011-05-29T22:24:07.577-07:00Nita, welcome to the blogosphere!
