It was bought out and now a Kwik Trip takes it's place. There, we have to pump our own gas. Progress isn't so sweet sometimes. We miss Petro. Farming fields stays the same as far as turning the soil but the equipment to giter'done sure changed. With a tractor and plow, Bill got stuck so deep one time. I'll bet the mules could have tugged him right out of that situation lickity-split! thanks for the memories.<br />Love n' such from up north where my guy is plowing snow again. We are so ready for spring.................in another couple-three months.Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-14719256138954188832018-02-04T08:38:52.380-05:002018-02-04T08:38:52.380-05:00Traveling the way you do would definitely be an ed...Traveling the way you do would definitely be an education and there is so much to see and learn. I miss the days when your gas was pumped for you and they washed the windows too and checked the oil. Snowing here this morning!

My dad never worked the farm. He was 34 when he had me and was fun into business by then.

He quit and got a job at Kelly Field in San Antonio packing medicine. He even went to work early to play dominoes before work. Must have been much easier then farming.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-4733286764715908872018-02-03T20:39:02.824-05:002018-02-03T20:39:02.824-05:00Yes!

Before he passed, Dad took enormous pride in saying his daughter had been to 49 states (Alaska came much later.) Unfortunately, as a spoiled kid I spent many of those road miles in the back seat ... bored, with my face in book. <br />'Not sure if you saw it, but the other day I posted an excerpt from my mom's 1956 travel diary on Facebook. In the course of one month: miles driven 8,115; gas & oil $147.69!<br /><br />PS - I wish more states would make pumping one's own gas illegal. Not sure why, but that's something I loathe.
