I have been setting here the last few hours thinking about all of the family/friends that are gone. Then the real sad thing is when I die the little everyday memories I have of them, that were just a little pieces of their daily lives, will be gone too. I have written a lot of the family stories down but my mind has volumes of just simple little memories that are not really the things you would write down but stick with you.
An example: I would have been 4 or 5 years old. I know I was not in school yet. The county was rebuilding the road that went across the back of my Great Grand father's farm. This included making a big cut in the hill to cross a new bridge that crossed the creek. My Great Grand Father and I walked back there to watch them move the dirt with bulldozers and pull pans. I do not remember what we talked about but I remember holding my Great Grand Father's hand and how wrinkled and rough it felt to my young soft hand. It seemed to me we set here for hours but it more than likely was not that long. I can still "feel" his hands. He has been dead over 55 years now.
So material things get sold or passed down. How do we deal with memories????

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
