| 17 | | Remembering Pop Pop My grandparents (Ida and Hardy) had a large garden, and my grandpa was masterful at tending to it. When my brother Kenny and I were growing up we would run all about the yard climbing up the apples trees and eating apples, pear, and grapes straight from the trees and vines. We were hardly ever allowed to touch his vegetable garden though, as my grandfather took the greatest care to ensure the produce was as bountiful as possible. When he did rarely allow us to help pick string beans, for example, there would invariably be fault found with our technique :) Anything produced from the garden over what he and my grandmother needed he would often sell on the side of the road, outside of their house in Oxon Hill. My father Cecil Jeffrey Trollinger told me that when he was growing up the farm was even larger as the government needed to take some of the land to build a school next door. My father indicated my grandpa never really made his children "work the farm" and my Dad always acknowledged that afforded him an opportunity to have a more normal childhood. My grandfather, or Pop Pop, as his grandchildren called him chose to tend the farm himself, almost solely. My grandmother kept house; cooking, laundry, and cleaning indoors. My grandfather grew up during the great depression and this had an extreme influence on his outlook and how much value he placed on various essentials. He was never wasteful, and even the scraps of his garden went back into the soil as fertilizer or was placed just outside of the fenced area to feed the local deer population. My Dad witnessed my grandfather repairing the roof of their house well into his 70's to illustrate what type of work ethic he had. While not the most affectionate individual you always knew where you stood with our "Pop Pop" - and he was ready with a quick smile or laugh anytime something amused him. My grandparents had several pets growing up (Dogs named Buster and Missy, and a Cat named Sissy). I've been told at least some, if not all of their pets, were strays taken in by them. Some of my most formative memories were spent at my grandparents house with my brother over the summers.
