It is with not a little sadness that I have to report that we are receiving what appears to be our last shipment of tangerines from my sister and brother-in-law Melody and Cliff Anderson in California. For years we have been the recipients of a shipment of fresh, tree ripened tangerines from their yard in Bakersfield in the middle of winter. Truly a serendiptous occasion for many years running. Because of Cliff's change of employment, they have relocated to Placerville in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas in northern California. They still own the house down south in Bakersfield. The shipment came marked with the phrases "Final Clearance" and "Out of Business Sale" from Anderson Farms Inc. So with mixed emotions we will partake of the "fruits" of their labor and generosity.
