Earning Your Keep

The whole time we were in the garden with Grandma, all I could think about was the story that Brian has told many times.  When he was little and stayed with her, the grandkids couldn't eat lunch until they finished shelling the peas they had picked.  Talk about another era!  I'm sure that practice would be in violation of some child labor laws these days . . . :rollingmyeyes: 
But I say it's those very lessons of hard work that have made my husband the go-getter he is today!  Thank you, Grandma!
