Thats a great memory for you and him. Reason I say this, and I'll bet I was about the same age, pre-school, my one and only grandfather came to the farm to visit and watch over me while the parents were gone which was quite a bit. I remember him and I planting tomatoes in this little plot next to the old milk house, nice dark easy to work soil, its the only thing still standing of what was once a great ole farm, huge victorian house and 2 large barns. Its a fond memory, a little hazy and surreal, but I can still recall it in full color so to speak LOL ! I learned that from him, how to plant tomatoes. I have planted them just about every year since those days. He was not around much longer, a stroke ruined him, dummy went off his BP meds for some stupid reason, he came back from a vacation in Europe, was found slumped over in the kitchen, he was never the same and spent most of his remaining days in the V.A. Hospital and nursing homes. I also learned about death that same day we planted the tomatoes, one of our cats either got hit by a car or something bad it had these bloody lacerations on it. So we made a cross and gave it a proper burial him and I. I was ok with it, learned to accept that this happens, being so young its all new to you, kids are resilient, more than adults I think. These memories are absolutely priceless, enjoy as many as you can, you or he will never regret it. I only got to know him and one grandmother on the other side who lived til 1996 or so, she was 87 years old.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
