Grandad's garden

When we were in England, we enjoyed helping Grandad in his garden. Some days Grandma would send us out to bring her carrots or green beans for dinner. We always liked to eat whatever we picked from the garden.


We helped dig up potatoes. In the greenhouse below, Grandad was also growing tomatoes and cucumbers. We helped watch them grow, but they were not ready to eat before we left.



Of course, it wasn't all work in the garden. There was also time for playing. Grandad taught us how to play swingball. We loved it, and even had a few bruises to show for it and almost broke Grandad's glasses!


When we were too tired to play swingball, we could still play in the garden with Daddy's old cars and trucks and even his Space Shuttle.
