I had had a lot of experiences in my life and wanted my childen to know about them I enrolled in an on-line course in writing The instuctor was Dr.Eva Shaw The Course name was write you life story. This has geen going on for eight years so some of my writing is current some older. This is eh firt story I wrote Under the handle "THIS OLD FARMER' Has Paul Harvey always said "You know have the rest of the story"
THIS OLD FARMER
This Old farmer was born in a farm house in Iowa the year of the big bank failures. My father was a dairyman and produced and processed milk. He was progressive thus I was exposed to many fascinating events. We never suffered the horrors of the depression. We raised a huge garden, raised fruit and the grandmother, aunt and mother preserved everything. We butchered our own hog and beef. I remember wrapping apples in news paper and storing them in a barrel in a cool basement. Guess what, “Fresh apple pie year around.”
As I grew older I was allowed to participate in many educational projects. Perhaps the greatest lesson my parents stressed was “Be aware of your surroundings and the thing that go on around you”. I have leaned for every accident, for every failure there is a root cause.
patent by the U.S. Patent Office. I have been a speaker at State and National meetings.
I have lived my life to the fullest. Some times thing has not gone the way I liked. Other times they have exceeded my greatest hopes. There is really not failure. It is just a learning experience.
I enjoy helping young people and the breeding of fine Guernsey Dairy Cattle. While doing all these things my wife was always at my side. Advising, pushing, listening, supporting me and above all loving me. We had a deal. We never went to sleep angry at one another.
It is my hope that my writing will encourage some people, give hope to others and be enjoyed by all.
