Remember the old woman who lived in a shoe? I'm a lot like her, with a husband and varying numbers of children in our 100-year-old farmhouse. This blog is about our lives.
I was reminded of my grandma (who died earlier this year) and picking peaches. She and I would go to Bush's and pick hundreds of pounds of Veterans..enough for my family, her and my mom. We would fill our boxes to the brim and carefully cart them back to the stand, trying not to bruise them, but there was always ONE more perfect peach calling us, and we always ended up with 50 pounds more than we intended!!
Greaty column, I needed to hear that today.
