The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Growing cucumbers is one of my favorite things to do in the summer. They are easy to grow and everyone in my family loves to eat them.
