My baby brother is near the door waiting for the bus.
It's sunny and it's 51 degrees in New York.
Going to talk about my apple-picking experience.
------------------------------
Last Saturday marked my first time apple-picking in 6 years! ??
Here was my experience:
I took a taxi to the farm in Warwick, New York.
No reservations needed.
Stopped by the area to get bags.
Learned the hard way the farm doesn't take credit cards.
Only cash.
The lady explained there is an ATM nearby.
You go to the ATM to get cash to get bags.
It's inside a small house with a sign saying "ATM".
Got 3 bags and picked many apples.
Each bag is up to 22 pounds!
Was the trip to the farm worth it? Yes.
Is apple-picking fun to do? Yes.
Are you going back? Yes.
My taxi driver offered to help carry the bag of apples.
He offered water because I was sweating.
Returned to Manhattan and thanked the taxi driver for his help.
Got his phone number and will keep in touch.
Carrying the apples was a challenge.
Saw a co-worker who saw me and helped me with the apple bags.
Thanked him for his help as he went to New Jersey.
Got on the train.
A stranger saw me struggling and helped carry the bags outside.
Took a taxi home.
Went to work and took 6 apples to bring to a co-worker Saturday night.
She thanked me for the apples.
And now she wants to go!
Had a great time at the farm.
Apple-picking -> creates memories.
P.S. Have you ever gone apple-picking before?
