Making Babies
I had to smile when reading "Making Babies" by Kim Thistle in the February issue of the Downhome. I lost my wife of 69 years on December 10, 2020. She was an avid gardener all her life and couldn't wait to break ground each spring. We have a cottage about an hour outside of town with all new ground that she loved to play in. One year she set a sack of seed potatoes and got one sack of grown potatoes in the fall. Another year we had potatoes enough to give away. One fall, Ena was up in her potato garden digging spuds. Our young granddaughter was playing in the woods near me when my wife called out, "Lloyd do we have any brin sacks in the shed?" Before I could answer her, Jane (5 or 6 at the time) yelled out, "Ea! Don't you know SACKS make babies!" Submitted by: Lloyd Walker Submitted By: NULL
