These are the "HAPPY" pictures (photos from 1998 & 1999)... there were a lot of trying moments in those pumpkin patches... lots of tears... fighting... whining... but HEY... I wanted a GOOD pumpkin... so what, if I threw myself down on the dirt and kicked and screamed... I'm like Linus... LOOKING FOR THE GREAT PUMPKIN!
Funny thing is... we don't even have a pumpkin yet... if we are to have one... looks like it will be a trip to the market... hmmmm...
Do you pumpkin patch stories? Come on... you do... give it up... tell us!
