Something came up last week at a meeting, that nobody else had heard of, I (we) must have had a strange childhood.
A friend said that she must have missed a cucumber when she was picking them from her garden the other day because she found a really really big, one when she was picking them.
I said when I was a kid; we used to take those, cut them in half lengthwise, and hollow them out and float them in the tub, as canoes, for toys.
Nobody else had heard of that, they thought it was one of the funniest things they had ever heard.
Ok, so does anybody else remember any of that?
That makes me think of:
-playing in the yard and making houses in the corn crib, or under the picnic table.
-homemade pies, sprinkling sugar on the dough trimmings and baking it. Yum.
-It also makes me think of picking and cleaning peas, green beans, strawberries pitting cherries, and cutting corn of the cob -Yuck.
But- Eating fresh jam and jelly Yum.
-going barefoot all summer and being able to walk in the gravel without it hurting by July.
OK, your turn what does that make you remember? Make a comment.
