The story of the Fruit Offender and pictures

This is the registered fruit offender. We stopped at a fresh fruit stand just a little north of Yuma, AZ we bought grapefruit, tomatoes, and oranges. We decided to take another road home to see different sites and CA was it. We were in line for the border crossing and when we pulled up she asked Phil to open the tail gate she looked in and saw the beets, carrots, cabbage there and then asked to check the back seat where she saw the oranges and grapefruit. The oranges said grown in CA so they were OK the grapefruit just said USA. So she took the bag and said follow me. Phil had to show his drivers license (which they took the # down) and wrote up a "rejection" and we had to go to the next exit and go back into AZ. OH yes, we could have left the fruit there but NO Phil couldn't do that.

These are called ugly oranges. No really that is there name. To me they looked like orange hedge apples. Well let's just say they didn't taste much better than they looked.
We had a garage sale in our park over the weekend. Phil had told me about this before we came to Quartzsite and said we could sale a lot of our junk, so we carried it to Az. We set out a few things on our little table. We sold 1 item. We made $25.00. That is what Phil told me any way I never seen it.
I like to see these Spanish churches
Christmas always in Quartzsite. This tree is in front of a Mexican Cafe they served sauerkraut as a special one day.
This is a dinosaur. Well it is a mountain that looked like one to me.
Phil liked this mountain. I mean it is pretty neat it just comes to an end and then desert.
Broken windmill and well in the desert.
Isn't this just the coolest picture of a cactus!!! The hole is a birds nest.

You have a whole bunch of posts I hadn't see!! How did that happen? Those oranges are ugly- that's funny that they didn't taste that good. Sauerkraut at a Mexican restaurant in Arizona is strange. Is it just normal sauerkraut? The cactus is really cool!
