Lindsay got a juicer for her birthday from Grandpa and Grandma Mork this year. Since they live in Arizona for half of the year, we sometimes get a care package filled with oranges and grapefruit that they have picked from their backyard. They sent Lindsay a box with oranges so she could try out her new juicer. One day, there was a notice on Lindsay's door that the postman had tried to deliver a package...and would try again tomorrow. Of course, Lindsay was gone the next day when it came. The new notice now stated that the package would be at the post office until May 4 for pick up. Lindsay knew that the box consisted of the oranges and realized that she wouldn't be able to pick them up until later in the day on May 4. She had very good intentions of retrieving the abandoned oranges and made a mental note to herself so she wouldn't forget. Well, life is busy, and unfortunately, it didn't happen. By the time she told me about it, the oranges were probably on their way back to Arizona. Meanwhile, Allen's parents were traveling back to Minnesota to their NEW home in St. Cloud. We wondered where these oranges would end up! (By the way, she felt badly about the whole situation, but what could she could do!?)
Yesterday, Grandma Mork presented Lindsay with her birthday box of oranges. The United States Postal Service forwarded this box of oranges to Sun City, Arizona and then back again to St. Cloud, Minnesota!! If only these oranges could talk!! Lindsay was happy to see the oranges, reached into the box to see how bad they were and... guess what?? Although there were a few nasty ones, most of the oranges were in great shape. Pretty funny story, huh? I guess LIndsay will get to try out that juicer with Arizona oranges after all!
