c-series don 8,663 #1 Posted November 12, 2018 My wife's grandma just passed on Tuesday. She owned what was left of our little hamlets real general store. Today we had a service for her at our volunteer firehouse were she did so much for. Looking back, we really had a little piece of Mayberry. I'm would like to share this picture of my wife, her grandma and grandpa at the store. I post this with a heavy heart because I feel this kind of our America is going away. 10 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Razorback 1,035 #4 Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Sorry for your loss. Thank you for the picture and the glimpse into your family! I agree that times and places like that are not as plentiful as they once were..... people have really lost their moral compass. But don’t give up the good fight! Here’s to salt-of-the-earth kind of people like that! There are still lots of folks like that in every community, but they are too busy raising their families, loving on their friends, and working too much to cause trouble and get noticed! Thankfully, we have them in our family, too. Unfortunately, we lost one last week, too, and will be having her funeral Tuesday. The book I read says it’s supposed to all fall apart..... but WE win in the end! Edited November 13, 2018 by Razorback 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it's headed all big boxy but there's still quite a few around here that function the old way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 8,663 #13 Posted November 14, 2018 Thank you everyone for your thoughtful comments. I have shared these with my wife. Although she doesn't have the same appreciation for our tractors as we do she does know that Red Square has people that have our same values. God bless America. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
