Your Mom and I made a visit Chesters in Plymouth over the Memorial Day weekend. To me Chesters will always be the “A&W”. It was the only place in town in the late 50’s where you could “drive-in” on a warm summer night, park in one of the stalls and have waitresses serve you in the car. Remember I had a convertible so the experience was even better. All the sandwiches are still charcoal grilled. The only thing that has changed is that the large glass mugs of ice cold A&W root beer have been replaced with soda in paper cups with covers and straws. A&W actually dropped their franchise. Nobody seems to care!
It seems to me that more families including ours are attempting small gardens for “natural” vegetables. There is nothing like fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini from the garden. Nana always liked working with the soil. Flower beds in front of the house. Garden in the back of the house. I guess growing up the “the farm” creates a skill set that never leaves. I never acquired that skill set.
I had stopped playing golf the last few years because I felt so lousy swinging a golf club. I have noticed that Grasshopper No.3 and No.4 both have new sets of clubs and Grandson Tommy has a “new used set”. I have to admit it gets my “juices” flowing. Stay tuned!
Memorial Day kicked off Summer. Next stop? 4th of July!
Love,
Dad
