You don’t see any weeds in those pictures! (I know that was probably as much about Mom as it was him). The thing I remember most about his garden is that he never watered with a sprinkler – he watered with a hose by hand because every plant had to get the correct amount of water. Those tomatoes were the fruit of his labor – and they were the most delicious tomatoes I’ve ever had. What I wouldn’t give for a plate full of those today 🙂

Something about a ruler and the knee! ❤]]> I loved when you tried to find creative ways to shorten the length of the school (skirt) uniform. 🤛👌. Something about a ruler and the knee! ❤️

Oh thank you, Sue! Those childhood memories sure do make me smile!

I don’t have any that I know of Sue, and my photos aren’t so well organized as yours. In the days when I was home to catch them working in the garden I didn’t have a camera.

School clothes, smelly perms and cucumbers, beans & tomatoes coming out our ears. The memories just makes my Thursday that much better!

Gosh, I don’t remember you ever talking about that nasty wasp! Yes, forgive it. 🙂

HA! I love that picture too. Wish I had some of Mom and Dad IN the garden. Do you? 🙂

I remember riding my bike past the preparations for the Mulligan Stew (Dad was helping make the stew and Mom was helping to set up the craft booth), when a wasp landed on my shoulder. Not knowing what it was I leaned my head against the insect that landed there and got stung! Didn’t change my love of the event, but obviously the memory remains. Perhaps it means I need to forgive that wasp 🤪😂

These are such great memories and truly a love story. Dad and the tomatoes is one of my favorite photos from our youth. I laughed at the picture of you and Mom and Rob on the swing. You all look adorable, but it struck me funny, after reading your description of the perms, how similar your and Mom’s hairstyle was. Anyway, thanks for the memories!
