Henrietta, my daughter Ruth’s eldest, is going to have to 
write a letter again in Seed Sense this month. I had intended

1. We sure all had a good time down at Grandpa’s and 
Grandma’s even though they kept us busy doing chores. 
Course we didn’t work too hard, but had a lot of fun doing 
things. When we picked tomatoes we just took the very 
ripest ones except Elizabeth. She just looked at them and 
carried the basket for fun. 
8. Then Grandma gave us some beans to shell and told us 
to “go to it.” We did, all except Elizabeth Rose. She just 
wiggled and twisted and stirred the pods around.

of it. Almost every other letter has been telling me how much 
you enjoyed the pictures of my grandchildren so here they 
are. They were taken last fall when Ruth’s children came down 
to spend a vacation with us at our Ozark cabin. 
2. Grandpa always marks the ripe Sugar Lumps with an 
X so we won’t pick any green ones. Grandpa has so many 
in the patch, we made 5 loads and there still were more to pick. 
These Sugar Lumps sure taste good. I can almost eat a whole 
one, but ‘‘Lukie”’ can eat more.

4. And when we got through, we each got to have all the 
Sugar Lumps we wanted. And are they good! lLukie ate the 
most. I guess that’s because he’s a boy, but Susan almost 
tied him.
