apple picking with Grandma
Finally, it's the last week of September grandma in I look forward to apple picking every year on September 22 I look forward to Apple picking just to spend time with grandma my grandma is already 70 years old but you wouldn't know that because she looks and acts at least 60 years old so every year grandma rides up in her blue 1930 Packard just to pick me up at the same time 10 am. I happily jump right into the front seat and hug my grandma because I'm so happy just to see her so energetic and happy every year. My grandma and I put on her old tunes Frankie Lymon and the teenagers, why do fools fall in love and we sing and laugh and we are talking, just we're we left off last year without missing a beat. My grandma always stops at this corner store just before we make it to the apple orchard and she always gets the same taffy candy that we have been getting for years since I was a kid of eight years. Even if I see this taffy at any time of the year I wouldn't buy it because that's just special between me and my grandma. And when we finally arrive at the apple orchard it's fun to see grandma at work. grandma instantly becomes an apple professional. Her first words when she finishes parking is the "harvest is in" that's my grandma's professional skills kicking in. Grandma always brings her baskets not because of rental fees just because hers is bigger and could hold almost double the bags or basket the farmers would give us. Almost always my grandma and I would take a hayride one year we couldn't because grandma had really bad allergies and it was best to stay away from the hay that's what grandma said so we did. Hayrides are a beautiful sight...
