Granddaddy is an avid gardener and it's one of the things that sticks out about him from my childhood. I remember he had the biggest garden when I was a kid and the one thing that sticks out the most was watching him bury his garbage in the garden...I thought that was so weird, but he seemed to know exactly what he was doing.
We had a blast having him here. We picked out seeds and planted my first ever garden. Granddaddy went to swim lessons with us and to watch the green truck outing of the week. I get my sweet tooth from him, so we enjoyed brownies after dinner, popcycles after working in the yard, and an outing to Mobile's famous Old Dutch ice cream shop. Granddaddy spent many relaxing hours on our back porch reading in the shade and helped Haley to master her peddling skills on her tricycle. We had a fun week...one that I will always treasure.
Haley "helping" Granddaddy pull weeds by handing him handfuls of dirt. She insisted on wearing her sun hat, just like Granddaddy. 
Sues chef Haley helping to make brownies for Granddaddy's visit. It would be a shame to let any go to waste. 
A well deserved popcycle after a hard day's work. 
Learning from a pro. First, you dig a row and drop in the seeds...
Then you cover them up...Ta Da!
Planting bell peppers. We took a little short cut on these. 
Old Dutch Ice Cream Shoppe. Granddaddy is quite pleased with his ice cream choice.
Haley and I polished off a delicious banana split!
In the navy, Granddaddy served as an airplane mechanic. When Haley's vacuum needed repair (aka new batteries), Granddaddy was just the man for the job!
