You're from the area around Indian River? Some of the best produce grown in the South comes out of that area. I have some Indian River orange juice in my fridge that has the freshest orange juice taste around!

Goodness - can I get the stuff, Indian River OJ, here?
That sounds so good. Thanks. ;-)

There she is - the Music Lady I accused JustAmy of chasing away!
I lived in Indian River country much of my life, in Melbourne, Port Malabar and Ft. Pierce.
During WWII when sugar was purchased with ration stamps, and quite precious, a friend of ours had a processing plant for citrus.
'Tragically,' every now and then a 50-pound sack became damp on the bottom, and of course could not be used.
A lot of it ended up in dinners and desserts in our home - usually in cakes and pies - for Navy pilots who dated my two older sisters - especially at Christmas..:))

Hi Aqua,
I was way into my dreamland when you hollered at me last night! :-)
Yes, we moved up here from Sebastian which is in Indian River County, FL, Pop. 15,000. All the way here to the "Big City" of Metro-Atlanta, Pop. 6,000,000 (gosh, my head swims with all of those zeroes!!!).
A traffic jam for us was more than three cars at a stoplight!! (LOL)
When the orange groves are in bloom it is the sweetest fragrance in the world. I miss it so much.
Have a great TGIF!!
