My mom used to say my dad was stubborn as a mule and all I can say the mule she compared him to must have been really stubborn.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272388069537746789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-75398672119714076362010-01-28T22:02:59.971-05:002010-01-28T22:02:59.971-05:00Small World, Dan Durant and Glen Sweeny I found ou...Small World, Dan Durant and Glen Sweeny I found out tonight were on the USS Independence, 59-63, Dan was a Gunners Mate and Glen was an Airdale!<br />As far as mules go, never used them, We had Belgians, I learned how to harness, bridle, hitch, how to clean their "Frogs" and put on shoes, I sugared, plowed, planted, hayed,<br />disc harrow, drag, log,and haul ice from the pond with them, they were named Jude and Joad!! Riding them bareback would be like trying to sit with your legs on each side of a volkswagon BUT I love the memories!!!Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133152472401045582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-76500220581059674752010-01-28T21:51:52.092-05:002010-01-28T21:51:52.092-05:00Those are pretty mules.

I...Jack, did you ever try to ride a mule bareback? It's an awful experience. Old Brother Grissom had two mules that he wanted to take to Sparta from Campaign. He hired his nephew and me (we were 11 years old) to ride them over - because he had no trailer or truck to transport them. I walked funny for a month afterwards! My Dad always pastored in rural areas so had my share of riding horses, milking cows and plowing with mules. ??? Didn't take much for me to have my share! :DFred Altonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740055638280779519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-42479899286099232302010-01-28T19:39:47.692-05:002010-01-28T19:39:47.692-05:00Jack I don't know anything about farming.
We ...Jack I don't know anything about farming. <br />We always lived in town. Roads and sidewalks. I have learned to do yardwork. I don't remember yard work at home. We roller skated on the sidewalks and were always both into music. In the third grade I volunteered the Church Bus to take us on a field trip. I love living close to town because I love City sounds. Is this true confession. <br /><br />Our parents could do anything and knew how to get it done. Have you ever wondered how Mother <br />and Dad could coped with us as teenagers since they were older. They just took everything in stride. I sure do miss them our brothers and sister.<br /><br />Shirl<br /><br />Shirlshirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.com
