I used to go visit an old lady who lived on her family farm. i knew her grandson, is how i found her! She must have been in her 90's, and lived alone!
We'd sit on the front porch and talk and swat flies, and drink cool drinks! Best time of my life! I was about 25 yrs old at the time.
She told me things about her area that i stored in my memory banks. The county had taken a big part of the farm for a county park and golf course! She didn't have much good to say about the newly rich that were traipsing around on what was her family's farm, but, she couldn't do much about it by then. Near as i can remember, she got around $20 an acre for her land! The big-hearted county commisioners saw to that!
And now, i am approaching 81 yrs.! I have a small business fixing mowers for friends, and others. My mind is keen, i'm in good health, and i've learned a lot of things from this forum, and Lawn & Garden Web! Been stumping around for 60 yrs or so on a wood foot! A gift from Uncle Sam (WW II) I have never let it get me down, unless it broke or something, and I did everything i wanted to do! So, ya have to take what life gives ya, and just keep on keeping on, until the end!
My wife says she's going to put my $1000 banjo in my coffin when i kick off! I told her to sell it, and put the old cheap one in there instead! (Worth $100!)
I've learned a lot from you folks, and i intend to stay on here as long as i can!
