GIANT Avocados! photo
My mom's been going through my Grandma's old slides, putting them onto her computer. She sent this one, knowing I'd flip when I saw the size of these avocados. (Pardon the quality of the photo - the slides have all seen better days)
This was taken in the 50's in Grandma's famous Pink kitchen. You can judge the size when you realize that her two full-grown budgies (parakeets) are sitting on the handle of the basket. I am so jealous!!  (it just occurred to me....haven't I always said my favorite things are avos and lemons? I guess I know where I get it from!)

Mom tells me the kitchen was not only pink, but had red formica countertops.
I still have some casserole dishes of Grandma's that she'd purchased for it :)

Those are really huge avocados.
IF they're avocados--they look like they could be a kind of squash. (Or maybe a gourd)
