Memory lane, here I come!!! I remember bailing small round bails (out of the 1955 Allis Chalmer bailer) of alfalfa in the heat of summer. We got paid 1 cent per bail and loaded and hauled from 6:00am until well after dark. Lunch was cold weiners and iced tea. A dip in the nasty smelling cow pond was a welcome relief from the itching alfalfa that found its way down the back of your shirt.

I remember running down the 200 pound hog that did not get cut with the litter. Dick and I would wrestle it down in the field and I had to hold it down while he WALKED back to the house to get the razor blade and iodine.

I remember marking hogs and the sows trying to tear the barn down.

I remember hand shovelling earcorn into the crib. As the corn level rose, another board was put into the door, until we were throwing at a hole a good 4 or 5 feet over our head.

I remember sneaking a nap on a rainy afternoon in the corn crib. The rain pelting on the tin roof would put me right to sleep.

I remember getting flogged by Grandpa's capon rooster, and chased by the darn geese when I went frog gigging.

AHHHH> Those were the days.....we couldn't wait to get off of the farm and now I will give everything I have to get back. Thanks for the moment gang!!
