Those apples you bagged up are beautiful. Do apple orchards typically grow all the same type apple trees or do they do a variety? Also, how will you keep them fresh until Thanksgiving?<br />I've never heard the song you chose and I notice that someone else mentioned that song. <br />Housework seems to be the thing we are all falling behind in.
