Cucumber & Onion Salad

Donna Hendrickson, Jennifer Figgins, and the bathtub.

Do you remember making cucumber boats with Grandma? That was a lot of fun. And it smelled so good! We would scoop out the overgrown cucumbers and float them in the bathtub, or the big, round metal tub outside. Sometimes we would poke toothpicks in them and make animals too.
