Larry, I first planted tomatoes with my grandad, near our old milkhouse, which is the only building still standing today, from this farm. Mind you its got a tarp on it right now. It has significance to me and I will put a roof on it. Nice little patch of dirt near the wellhead there. Parents were away, it was just him and I that day as his wife and my grandmother had passed in December of '69. I still plant tomatoes up on this hill, about 200 yds away from that soil patch which is still intact from those days. I learned about life and death that day, as something had happened to one of our cats, a gray and black striped one. It was dead and had lacerations on the side of its head, like something with claws got it. Might have been run over by him or was in the engine compartment. I knew it had just died when I saw it, and I suppose I'll never really know for sure what happened. He and I buried it, also made a cross and placed it over the grave. I had never seen anything die or dead yet being young, but I understood this somehow. He never said all that much as I recall, about either as we worked digging in the soil. I learned more that one day with him then in years to follow. I never got much time with him like that, as he foolishly did not take his BP meds after a vacation when he first retired. He had a debilitating stroke that was followed with 5 years of just visitations after before he passed away.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
