I used to spend my summers with my grandparents in AL when I was a kid.
They retired there after my grandfather was tasked with setting up the Army
Missile School at Restone. Anyway, they had about 3 acres worth of garden
and orchards which my brother and I helped them with in the mornings.
Around 11, my grandmother would disappear to make us all lunch and we would
all sit in their gazebo and eat and then listen to Paul Harvey while
shucking corn or stringing beans. Great memories of that show and those
simpler times.
