Yesterday, my uncle brought me a bag of Jujubees. Half dried. Totally odd looking. He'd been out to his place in Utah and his neighbor has a tree. They're kinda like dates, but with a different texture. Good. But like nothing I've ever tasted.
He's always bringing me something from his garden out there. Dried nectarines. Dried apricots. Grapes that they picked and dried into the most fantastic raisins you've ever put in your mouth!
I love the family that I'm a part of. I love that they are sharing and loving. And I love that they accept me without one word.

Ziziphus zizyphus, that kinda rolls right off the tongue, don't you think?
It is great that you have such a loving family,that accepts you as you are.I kinda wish my family would stop acting embaresed by my seizure and are always "too busy" to spend time with me.
Interesting looking fruit, never saw or heard of them until now.
i haven't heard of those before. interesting stuff.
I've heard of Jujubees, but never really knew what they were.
I always thought jujubees were a type of candy. I had no idea they were a fruit!
interesting fruit. I have not heard of them, and if they grow in Utah, they probably grow here in Colorado also.
I thought they were a type of candy. you learn something new everyday.
They look tasty! I'm going to try to get my hands on some.
I'm with marsha. I thought jujubees were a candy found at movie theatres. had no idea there was such a fruit. the things you learn from a real live lesbian : )

How sweet! You are very fortunate indeed.
You are very fortunate. Let me know if your family ever wants to adopt another member!
I accept you with three :)
Cool family bringing you cool dried fruits. Life's good!
Jujubes were those rubber, sticky kind of chew candies that removed our fillings, weren't they? They look unique on that tree. It is fortunate that you have a loving and tolerant family. Good for you.
