Lately the burn is more like a smolder, but the breeze will pick up here in a bit and the flames will turn blue and white again!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Where does it go? It goes to the same place my hair has gone, and my memory, physical fitness, stamina, a lot of dogs, my memory, and a whole passel of things that were in around during my childhood and younger years, and my memory. Ad friends no longer around, places I can't get to any more, things I can't use anymore, and my memory. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Oldest grandson came over last night for supper. He’s about 6’3” tall and slender like a young pine tree! He’ll be 21 this fall! I remember when his mom and Hatfield got married. He was just a little over knee high and now he has me by more than an inch! Polite young man and proud to wear our family’s name. On the day of the wedding, when the JP pronounced them husband and wife, he asked when could he get the family name. He was 7 years old. His parents didn’t waste any time getting that done! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a living and providing for their future CAN take time away from family time. I worked hard to keep that from happening. When Hatfield was growing up, I made sure the time we had was well spent. I kept him and Schoolmarm involved in our racing program and coached the neighborhood kids in baseball which meant more time shared with him. He’s done the same for his boys, staying involved in the things they do and like to do! He’s coached, umpired, and mentored the same way I did and the way my dad did too! Take the time you get and make the most of it!! Make time whenever you can!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
