🌻Val’s Hardware 🛠 featuring Val and her grandkid Mateo . Val inherited the hardware store she grew up spending her afternoons in, along with the two floors above in 1987. On the top floor, there’s a fire escape where she has taken to growing various herbs. In the future, she wants to expand and plant a full garden on the roof during the warm months. Each summer, Val’s grandkid Mateo comes and stays, helping out around the store and tending to the small herb garden. . . . .
