Hah! I'm done with the darn string on those things. I'm upgrading, when it cools off a bit later, to using stranded #12 wire! Saw some outfit selling that type of device online so I'm retrofitting mine. The wire fits perfectly in the guide hole.

Trying to remember what we bought today:

Fresh peaches (splitting some with neighbor)
Two cantaloupes (“Lopes” in the local parlance, also giving one to neighbor)
6 molasses cookies
6 peanut butter cookies
Four bricks of Colby cheese (white Colby, smoked Colby, dill Colby, Italian Colby)
Butcher shop old-style bologna
Extra-sharp white cheddar
Packet of cut-up celery, carrot, and cucumber
9 lbs of handmade hard pretzel pieces (“Brokes” in the local parlance)
Four peach dumplings (might give one to neighbor)

TastyReuben are the Peaches Cling or Free-Stone? White or Yellow?
I miss fresh, real fresh fruit straight from the farm stand, fruit! We have some here in Cowboyville Arizona, but not much.

These are John Boy peaches, so yellow semi-freestone, and super-sweet flesh. Made specifically for eating out of hand.

That’s one thing we love about this area - farmstands every mile or so, they’re everywhere, selling locally-grown peaches, apples, blueberries, blackberries, plums, and melons, and multiple varieties of each, and most farmstands are located right at the orchards, so it’s as fresh as fresh can be.

I'll have to take a day road trip to PA (when you move to PA) and the 3 of us can go farm stand hopping. Jeez, and I live next door in the garden state. No farm stands anywhere around me. :sad:

…and if you don’t want to come all the way to Gettysburg, we’ll meet you in Lancaster County…they’ve been known to grow an ear or two of corn.

Maybe I can do an overnight at a nice motel and we can do both. I feel like I really need to get away from here for a day or two.

We know Lancaster Co. better than we know Adams Co. When we lived in Delaware, we were up in Lancaster 2-3 times a month, and we’ve been many times since then.

Come to think of it…this is the first time we’ve come over and not gone to Lancaster for the day.
 
We were out in the country at tai tapu our grandson harry was playing for waihora against leeston in.the grand final. They won 27 to 7. Harry saved 3 certain tries and overran the ball to miss a try. He played on the wing the same position I played.
Then we needed potatoes and pumpkin so we drove 20 mins to kirwee and got from the farm 🚜 5kg agria spuds $8
And a pumpkin.$3 these are so sweet we didn't mind traveling extra.
