hubby's grapefruit

I guess I am into fruits today, you think? This is for my hubby because he loves grapefruit. I like it too, but not as much as hubby likes it especially if it’s sour. That’s why my little girl is a daddy’s girl because she also likes sour fruits. I remember when I was still young, we used to eat lots of grapefruit from my late great grandfather’s farm. They had several grapefruit trees so we were always there and had my fill of grapefruit. Well of course, grapefruit here is of different kind but still the same tangy taste and smell. Mmm, makes my mouth water.
