Whenever one of us grand kids would ask for something – candy, a yo-yo, legos, a cabbage patch doll – our grandparents would tell us, “Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.”
Except for that one day that it did.
My grandfather had a beautiful garden beside their house (they also had apple and pear trees and a grape arbor). One day, after church, he took us around the garden.
Was that…a dollar bill amongst the basil? It was! And another by the tomatoes.
I collected a fistful of dollars that day. I ran back to the house to show my grandmother who couldn’t stop smiling.’
Grandparents rock.
Delightful grandparents!
You were truly blessed by them.
Yes, they totally do.
