Not sure what to say?





What memories, we grew up together & had so much fun on the farm. From riding old Sally, the horse, who we could never get to move, to gathering chicken eggs, running from the ram, washing your 4H pig, driving the jeep in the pasture. swinging from a rope & dropping into the hay in the barn & so much more. And in later years you were always trying to show everybody a good time! RIP, YOU WILL BE MISSED!!
