Happy Fathers Day to all the guys on here.
What would we do without the greatest men in our lives?
DAD
My "DAD" has been gone for several years--but I have
many wonderful memories of him. He was a gardener, carpenter,and jack of all trades.
I never saw anything he could not do, if he set his mind to it.
I recall him at 70 years old; squatting in the strawberry patch,
picking his special berries that he 'cross bred' for size and sweetness.
His garden was always something for the neighbors to envy-onions, lettuce,radishes,
potatoes, sweet potatoes,tomatoes by the rows, cabbage, turnips. Veggies of all kinds
and the extras to can for the winter for 6 kids. Plenty to give to the neighbors
and friends too. WHAT Memories!
I might add this was back in the depression area when times were VERY hard.
****
do you have any favorite memories to share?
