Quiet Time

Today was a quiet day, Cat crawled up beside me as I copied pictures by taking pictures of them, I don't scan photos anymore !
.
Sitting here thinking about the Farm and Growing up there !  Our House was a Log Cabin, it was built on 1 1/2 acres of land which my father bought from his father !  The neighbors helped him split, shave and corner the logs, hand pour the concrete floor and 6 foot cellar walls.  3 shovels of course gravel, 1 shovel of sand and 1 shovel of Portland cement all in a small electric cement mixer !
.

.

I hated this thing and I used it as a boy, again as a young man and now I just call the local Cement Company and order it delivered by truck!

My Dad, brother Jim holding hammer, Donnie holding pail of old used nails, me in front of Dad and sister Beverly in front of Mother !  We were fixing fence !

Dad and I, sitting looking at pictures outside, sure miss him !

My Mom and I in the Kitchen, My Mother holding a Cigarette she carried around with her, she quit smoking years ago but needed to have one in her hand or near by !

This was our house, built by my Father and the neighbors, great memories !!

Don't forget, Remember our Vets !
