Apol Op May Ay

Lots of varieties: granny smith, red delicious, golden delicious, mcintosh small and big in the farm. But there's always one particular kind we love to have.

To quote English writer Sir Walter Scott's Old Mortality, 1816: "Poor Richard was to me as an eldest son, the apple of my eye."

And the apple of my eye had hers on May 24, 2007. Here's Marie with her family: James and Addison of 2007 Thanksgiving in San Francisco fame.

I get a different feeling, hard to describe, when Addi came to this world. For one, she brought another dimension to my life and my world. Thanks James and Marie for Addi.


Madaming klaseng mansanas sa farm: granny smith, red at golden delicious, mckintosh, malalaki, maliliit at juicy. Pero ako ay my paboritong mansanas, at alam kong kayo'y mayroon din.

Unang natala ang phrase na "apple of my eye" sa modern english sa sinulat ni Sir Walter Scott sa Old Mortality, noong 1816, patungkol sa subject niyang si Richard.

Ang aming panganay na si Marie, na aming apol of our eye, ay nagkaroon din ng kanyang/kanilang apol of their eye ni husband James. Kakaibang pakiramdam pag nagka apo ka na pala --- bukod sa hindi na maitagong matanda na pala ako, e naging masigla at makulay ulit ang mundo.

Salamat James at Marie.... salamat.
