I have this feeling I NEED to be on a farm! Both sides of my family were farmers for many generations. Here is a photo page I made a while back for one of my grandsons. It is of my dad and his dad.

That is a really nice thing to do, a little bit of history and heritage for your grandchildren. :thumbsup

I never got into riding horses but I always loved working with a willing team. I've plowed many a furrow behind "Danny Boy" our old plow horse. His teammate was Nellie and she was totally blind. It was really something to see him brushing against her side in the pasture to lead her to the best grazing and the water trough. They were a great team.

That is a wonderful memory!! These days we miss so much by not being closer to the land and the animals.

That's really great, Rebbetzin, that you have those old photos to enjoy. I love history and geneology.

Nice story about the horses too, Hoodat.
