So you have a 'cousin' of Tita's named Frankie? I hope he is not as wild as she is. She still attacks on occasion for no discernible reason. I'm really convinced now that generations of feral-dom doesn't go away through nurture. Hey Joan! So you have a ‘cousin’ of Tita’s named Frankie? I hope he is not as wild as she is.

They're such fast growers that she could be making soursop smoothies in 2 years or so ...

I don't think I would take her suggestion either. However, I'm sure that is one way that many things enter another country. A friend here has a large Guanabana tree in his yard but I haven't been over to see it in fruit. I should go and visit now, you know? ewwwww! I don’t think I would take her suggestion either.

I live in a "near tropical" climate, NOB, and have long wished that I had a guanabana tree in my yard. While dining with a friend at her mother's home in Merida some years back, I said that I wished I could legally carry a young guanabana tree back to the US with me. Her mother, a feisty and successful, elderly Mestiza business woman, looked at me with one eyebrow raised, then said, "Well, you can do something else. Just swallow the seeds before you board the plane, and . . ." Unaware of her "frank/matter of fact" personality, her comment really caught me off-guard. I chuckled, but did NOT take her suggestion. I've wondered many times since, "What if?" In the meantime, if I'm traveling in a guanabana growing region during "the season", I enjoy the delicious guanabana ice cream that is usually available.

Especially how you can move the pictures around. Not too crazy about having to go to a new page to continue reading. This may prove to be a problem for your readers. Love the look of your new site.

And, I can't believe how much alike Tita and my mackeral tabby, Frankie, look; their markings and coloring patterns, even to the beige tummy "pooch" are almost identical!
