Re: Nesa's garden- EARTH SHAKING NEWS

You'll still be hearing from me. Maybe a little less though...We have a 2
year old boy Ryan. Two of the pics I brought along to show the MP had him in
it with the watering cans. One actually was a pic we took with our MP at our
tree planting day. My son really won hearts that day as he was the youngest
resident there(only 20mths) and was carrying a red watering can . My hubby
as office bearer planted a guava tree and Ryan watered it immediately after,
our Mp was concerned he'd fall or get hoed in! But he sure got lotsa
attention and I think it(the image) stuck!
