Title: Simpler Times
Post by: peternap on December 20, 2011, 09:58:34 AM
I had to go to the Valley yesterday, for a ceremony the Bar was having to honor Dad.

I left early so I could spend some time with some Mennonite friends beforehand.

We were talking about our fathers and Barbara Martin/Shank, told a story about the posthole digger her father made and used. Her Husband frowned and called it a "Thumper".

I made the comment that those were simpler times I wish I could go back to.

Barbra smiled and reminded me that her father spent a great deal of time complaining about how complicated things had gotten, and he wished he could do things like his father. c*
