Stop in for a cup of coffee

I do. This one has been rough. Covid battle , sure. But it’s the first Christmas without my grandfather and I’m so torn up about it, trying hard to keep it from spreading to the rest of the family but it’s hurting deep. I’m just so darn happy I went with my gut last year and came up with the tractor overhaul. 7 days to tear down, rebuild and repaint a 1956 John Deere Model 60. Got her all back together, went to start it and boom went the starter. Took 4 months to get a new one from John Deere, just days before wha would be his funeral. So the Model 60 led the casket to the gravesite . The old pop pop pop of the old thing echoing in tune with church bells.

but man, watching the video we took last year and his reaction makes me smile. Such a good memory and so glad we got it done for him.

I'm 16 years from my Mom's passing on December 20th... keeping the good memories in mind and knowing the cycle of the world maintains perspective. How happy would your Dad have been having a tractor lead the procession?

Be well... enjoy family in spite of the world.

Must be the Mezcal talking.

Cheers
