Robert is Here

On David Harraden's suggestion we stopped at a "fruit stand" in Homestead on the way to Grassy Key. ROBERT IS HERE is the name of the place. Story is, Robert started the place at age six, standing on the corner and selling six cucumbers. Fifty years later its quite the enterprise. Yesterday, on Sunday, the place was packed with folks loading up on his unique fruit and vegetables and lined up to buy $5 milkshakes with flavors of Mango, Papaya, and Guava. Robert himself was at the cash register, tallying the bill on a paper bag and chatting with Kathleen about his grandchildren. Topping it off was the live music. Dashel did his goofy dance while the rest of us drank our milkshakes and listened to tunes by Eric Clapton and James Taylor.
