Good that you are trying to help those folks! I'm an old folks, too, along with my dear wife. We live in the home we bought when we got married in 1950. I'm 83. My wife is 79. I receive a Govment disability check every month, for losing my left foot, in WW II! Every year, the cost of living goes up, but our income stays the same! So, i'm hoping we can keep our heads above water, until we both pass on. Getting tougher to do every year. Our esteemed (?) Governor has promised to lower our property taxes, by giving the OK to casinos, but the money always seems to go to some sport venue, the Steelers, Penguins, Pirates, and stadiums, ice hockey arenas and hockey teams, fixing roads, bridges, and into their pockets! And we get the crumbs that are left. Yes, it seems like the old folks get the short end of the stick. But!! The Govment says:"Come live in our funded homes for the elderly--no worries--no cost to you!" But, thats like living in the funny farm and where i'd be after a month of bad living, bad cooking, bad health, and indifference to our needs! the idea of stabling old folks in dormitories doesn't appeal to me. I have the idea those old folks didn't want to be herded into one of those (Dieing centers)! But would rateher stay in their own home. I know i would. So, we plug along, keeping out of the funny farm, and hope the weather warms up! I do a few lawn mower repairs, etc., to buy gasoline and a few groceries. My wife knows how to cook well, and how to keep us in our home, so i'm not worried too much, until the Sheriff comes knocking, saying we have to get out! Well, i saved our Motor home( A 1978 model) for just such an emergency, and we can live in it if need be! Somebody will have a flat spot where we can park it, hopefully! Yes, its a "free" country, but i haven't found the free part yet, except for the free speech part of it! But, watch whut ya say--the walls have ears!

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. 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
