Apples

Yeah, I know I am not very specific about where I go in my meandering topics so today we talk about apples... or we can talk about Apples.

Last weekend I relived some of the joy from my childhood, we went apple picking. We wandered up and down between the trees and I would pluck a tasty looking apple off here and there. My boy, the youngest one, would climb the trees and bring his prizes back to put in the bag. My honey did like wise and warned me not too pick too many apples. Please, too many apples. We shared this experience with some family friends and their children. They had pumpkins so my my boy grabbed a nice big one for carving. We then went to cash out and we had about fifteen pounds of apples (maybe a little much for our little family that doesn't bake or can) and an eleven pound pumpkin. It cost us approximately twenty-seven dollars for this fun (it did include a ride on a horse drawn wagon). It was a lot cheaper when I was growing up and we had an apple tree on our land. Ah well times change and with the economy the price of everything goes up.

Having eaten three to four apples a day since then, I've started baking apple crisp, I tried for apple pie, but as of yet nothing I've baked resembled apple pie so I will continue with the crisp and will have to go running more to help now that I've picked so many of those healthy apples.

Now onto Apples, back in elementary school I remember the first computer we were introduced to was an Apple, but by the time I got to high school all the computers I worked with were PC's. There are many people that swear by their Apples, I am not one of them. I have worked with PC's for over twenty years now went to school for IT and focused on the PC. Now we've all seen the ads with the hip young Mac user and the square old PC. Trying to compare the two is like trying to compare oranges and well Apples. I say go with what you know, because that saves you a lot of time learning something new and learning how to troubleshoot a whole new system.

Have Fun and Be Great.
