Late For Supper
I thought I would share a memory of my youth you guys and gals. I am not into the journal thing, so you might get a little snippet from time to time.
When I was a pup of about....6 or 7, my Grandfather(moms dad) came to live with us for the summer. It was the last summer of his life, but he sure made an impression on me. He made sure I got to see the Steam Thrashers show that used to be at the county fairgrounds a couple of times. To this day I love to hear a steam engine run, and would LOVE to own one!

Next thing he (and my mother) introduced us kids to, was Kingwood Center, right here in Mansfield.

If you have time, scroll through their "gardens" section. It is well worth your time.
After Grandpa was gone, I used to work at an auto dealership about a half a block from Kingwood. I would spend ever lunch hour there, strolling thru the gardens and looking at the flowers. This place is pretty stinkin' neat, and it taught me an appreciation for plants and flowers. It is also the reason I am building my greenhouse. My dad is where I get my green thumb from, but my mom is who taught me how to preserve it.
