Same here, Deb. I grew up with older brother and male cousin. My fave past time was digging trenches in the back yard. With old kitchen cutlery my mom gave us. Nothing like keeping kids active by digging big trenches with a teaspoon! :)

Then I started a mud-pie bakery. Such great memories. Getting muddy in God's dirt helped me develop an amazing immune system! And to this day, gardening is my Zen. I pull weeds by hand and enjoy getting down and dirty in the mud.
