Remember when we began to ‘break ground’ with a two-horse turn plow … no tractors … just looked at the north end of a south bound horse or mule or both. … If the soil was dry, all you could see was a huge, what looked like a dust storm. … In the middle was a young person, 2 animals and a plow … all on foot…
Those were the days I promised myself I would pursue a different occupation…
I do enjoy seeing corn and other plants break through the soil … a new beginning…

I’ve learned … That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
And one more … If you can buy a person’s friendship, it is not worth it.
