Nipomo & Nesbitt Extracts Even in the 50’s, there was the need, oh the need, to run from the city, slick and sleek, lights and brights, run from the city to the country nights  my dad he heard it in his bones find the family a better home here the ground is rich and dark and life can be like a park so to the north he took us far then, soon, he stopped the car said, this is home, make the best and for that year, stands memory’s test for this is where the plum tree stood and chickens scratched the earth’s great good we grew the soil into verdant green and greeted the morning fog serene till the sun broke through the mist we played, the air felt laughter’s kiss  children in great grainy gunny sacks celebrating Indian’s dance in the back where the clothes hung to solar dry while the summer sun was nigh chasing shadows, come what may stamping dust into the fray and soon the Indians with dusty cheeks sought a refuge, a drink to seek even then, Mom was clever with a drink, the dry to sever she kept us content with the real of a drink from oranges peeled to that added a fizzy feel Nesbitt memories are surreal for nothing comes close to this, again of dust, and dance, and remember when…  |

  (big hugggssssss) Oh Karilea, I wish I could have lived then to try that soda, a lot of days I spend my time writing poems in the Avanza supermarket because I love the fiesta atmosphere there and I always buy tose bottled sodas but unfortunately I could never find that one! (sigh) Such nostalgia and memories fill your words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Add me to the list of people who actually drank Nesbitt Orange and displayed the orange upper lip and tongue. What a treat that was. This one's a keeper, Karilea. Don't forget to publish this one.  Shenachie |
