Country Roots

Here are the pictures I promised earlier of my grandpa and I with his pride and joy - his antique John Deere B tractor. Before our visit he spent some time spiffing it up with new tires and shine as it dates back to between the early 1930s and early 1950s. He never used this particular tractor - it's his favorite - but he used ones similar to tend to all his fields. He has been a farmer is whole life growing corn, soybeans, and wheat in the land around Bellflower, Missouri. Another interesting fact is that he was born just two miles away from where he currently lives. He's a great man and makes me proud of my country roots! :)

Here is all three of us - Grandpa, me, and his wife Tina.
