A story about Persimmons

[LizStreithorst]

I have this lovely customer.  One year before Christmas she brought me stuff from her garden and I guess fruit that she much have purchased.   My eyes lit up when I saw persimmons!  They were big and they were beautiful.  They came from her own tree!!!!  She also likes bring me stuff from her garden during the warmer months, too.  May be she likes how my eyes light up when she asks if I like potato's or squash or green onions or what ever her garden has made.

This lady is 83 years old.  She always walks in carrying one of the dogs that she says is a Jack Russel.  I cage it and go to the car to haul in the dog's sister before she can get there.   The dogs are getting too heavy for her but she insists on doing it even though I have told her too toot when she pulls up  

My last old prospective old lady didn't pan out. (She has family)  This old lady, BTW her name is Mrs. Strickland, has only her husband.  Her husband can still get around but he's not well.  If I could hook up with Mrs. Strickland I think that it would be good for both of us.  I've offered to do things for her lots of times but nothing ever comes of it.  I need to figure out why.

Last week she brought the dogs and she asked if I was still in to persimmons.  Oh yeah I am!  When she came for the dogs she brought Persimmons.  Thank God it was a bad year for persimmons. 
She brought a bit less than 3 times that I could eat.  I ate one yesterday.  I had two ready to eat today but I couldn't eat two and by tomorrow they's have been to old to eat.  I made them into creamsicles!  I love my homemade creamsicles with fresh fruit.  I bet that I am the only one who has ever made persimmon creamsicles.

...I was raised eating persimmon pudding with fresh made whipped cream on top.....my grandmother had persimmon trees too.... 

Yes, I'll bet that you might be the first, and only, person to ever make those into cremesicles..... and I'll bet they're good too...MMmmm
