Heres to you Grandpa!

My Grandpa used to do lawns for people, and he had a bad leg, from a railroad tie falling on it, so he would push a push cart, with his push mower, and garden tools, inside. I used to comment that I sure wish I had Grandpa's old push cart. Well, about 10 years ago, for Christmas, to my surprise, Herb had made me one. Ten years of being in the weather had done a number on it, and this week Herb fixed it back up, now its lookin good again and yesterday we put some pots of red, white and blue petunias in it. Hopefully they will fill it with lots of color.
On that Christmas that Herb presented it to me, he had put it in the side yard, with flood lights on it and had me come into the kitchen, and there it was. I must say, that was one of my best Christmas presents!! Everytime I look at it I remember that special Christmas and my "Grandpa".
