I want to start by offering condolence to JD SELLER.I lost a nephew in 1998 two weeks before Christmas.It was hard on everbody as it is on your family now but time will heal.Your a good person and believer. Keep your faith and trust.

Secondly I' like to tell every one about yesterday.
It was the last day of the weekly hay auction.Prices were good and a big crowd.

After the sale was a customer appreciation diner.Good food and conversation.They also had two drawings.One for a young man of 27 who was in a truck accident just before Christmas of last year.He just got a job at the local refinery and life was good.He now is wheel chair bound the rest of his life.The other was for a great niece of the auction owner.She's 4 and has leukemia.The crowd rallied to the cause.

The next time you waste a trip to buy a piece of junk or rant about the neighbors dog getting in the trash stop and think.With out my health I couldn't be mad about this.

I'm done with the soap box now.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!Be safe and have a good day.
 
You are so right. We whine about our aches and pains, but if we stop to look around, we're still walking when others aren't able to anymore. Happy Easter to you too. Jim
 
It's hard to lose anyone. Really hard when it is a kid.Owner of the feed store where I work. Lost his grandson yesterday. Born with a bad heart. Never had a chance.

As JD said sometimes hard to understand what the plan is.My wife's last doctor told us. When ever he lost a kid in his care. He would go in his office and cry. Until he was able to face the mother.

JD is a good man with a good family. They will get through all of this. Take care JD.
 
It's always amazing and gratifying how a community will rally around someone needing help.

A burger fry and silent auction was recently held at our local VFW to help defray medical bills for a local lady who has been battling cancer. The event raised $29,000, more than double what anyone had even dreamed of.

I've never forgotten a story the late Paul Harvey told about a teenaged girl in Texas. As a 4H member, she raised a hog to show at the local county fair. A few weeks before the fair, she was in a car accident and although she eventually recovered fully, at the time of the fair she was confined to a wheelchair with the family facing horrendous medical bills.

Another family member showed her hog at the fair, and the hog won the grand prize. As is customary, after the fair the animals were auctioned, the buyers normally being restaurants and steak houses who purchase them for the meat.

When the young lady's hog came up for auction, a local car dealer was the high bidder. He immediately rushed to the auctioneer and told the auctioneer that he would pay what he had bid, but since he had no use for the hog to auction it again.

The crowd caught on to what was happening, and before it was over the auctioneer had sold the same hog 34 times, while the gal sat in her wheel chair with tears streaming down her face.

Not too many things will bring tears to this old cynic's eyes, but that story did.
