An Apple A Day!

    We've all heard that old saying..."An
apple a day keeps the doctor away."
I'm not sure just how accurate it is. But
there's no question there's a lot of ways
to put apples to use!
    My son-in-law, two grand kids and I
picked out a few choice ones for eating
when we visited Ritter's in Lackawanna
County yesterday.
    The bins there were full of different
varieties. I don't know the difference
between those various types. I only know
they all taste good!
    Of course those tasty fruits can also be
put to good use in other ways.
    Pies are a logical option and there were
plenty at the orchard. So is Cider.
    But these folks have gone the whole mile
to market their product. That's why so many
customers show up to watch as the Apple
Cider donuts roll off the production line!
They're the best of both worlds!
    Of course we all know there are always a
few "bad apples" in the bunch.
    Not to worry. They've even found a good
use for those as well! And it's my grand kids
favorite part of the visit.
    It's the Apple Sling Shot! You grab one of
those bad apples, load it in the sling, and fire
your apple at a target some 20 yards away.
Hey! Who would have ever thought...An apple
a day keeps the bad guy away!? Maybe we
could all add an apple slingshot to our home
security systems! No one in his right mind
wants to get clobbered by a Mackintosh!
    Hope you're happy to the "core" and that all
your NEWS is good!
