My entire family recently spent the week with us at Greg’s Garden Party. The grandchildren had a blast playing with their cousins, taking turns riding on the battery powered ATV, going for lawn tractor rides with Grandpa, running under the lawn sprinkler, and harvesting fruit and vegetables.
We have pulled carrots and onions, dug for potatoes (their favorite) and picked raspberries. Needless to say, sharing one of my favorite pastimes with my grandchildren is beyond description. Teaching them where their food comes from and how much fun it is to be able to pick from your own garden are lessons that I hope will stay with them forever.
My hope is that this exposure will kindle a desire to garden just like Grandpa does. That would make me very happy.
After the grandchildren had their time in the garden with Grandpa they had the opportunity to help Gram in the kitchen. Times like these are what life is all about.
All the best,

Glorious! This is what grand parenting is all about… leaving seeds of memory, as well as harvesting what Grandpa planted and Grandma does with it in the kitchen. (no sexism intended)
