A little story…

Actually this shows what a great dad my dad is. You see when I was a kid, we had asparagus growing wild along the ditch banks. I never liked it but my dad did (or so I thought).

I’d go and pick for him and we’d have it for dinner. He say how nice it was and thank me for picking it “just for him”. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I found out my dad is not a huge fan after all. I think he likes it ok… but I thought he adored it when I was a kid gleaning along the ditch banks.
