Have you ever had those Lil Me ?  They are without a doubt the best apples in the apple family.  Of course I was spoiled, and used to eat them right off the tree.  I suppose most fruit right off the vine would take a front seat to what we get in the grocers.

  *my mouth is watering just thinking of them.  They are hard to get....although there are a couple people who show up at the early fall local markets who have them.

I have not.  I could probably find some this fall at Urban Fare or Whole Foods, though.  I shall ask my mother to be on the lookout.  She shops at the Granville Island market and the yuppie grocery stores.

 I never understood how Johnny Appleseed could survive without shoes. Just like George Washington and his cherry tree because he was the incarnation of Jesus.

(seriously they were all whacked out on opium back then, the capitol rotunda has Washington as a god like figure taking us to heaven) (although the rotunda wasn't built until the civil war)

I'd get myself over to the Granville Island market if that was the only place I could get them.

  There was a fellow last year at the farmers market that overheard me asking for them.....and he said to 'come on over'....got tons.  I never went, but I wish I could remember his name.

Maybe he liked you and the apples were just a ploy?

I pondered the possibility....and wondered what I might have to do for a bushel of Gravensteins.  THAT wasn't what stopped me  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0]....I think we were on our way out of town for the week.

 You might have to go to the basement and look at his monster.

I think she may really be talking about his zoom.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a090.gif" border=0]
