We received an email from friends telling us we should stop in at Martha's Gardens. Martha's Garden is a date farm and restaurant specializing in date shakes. When we were out picking up dog food for our fearless leader, we decided to stop at Martha's Garden. As Ed doesn't like dates we didn't try the date shake.
