After Terry’s Dad passed Terry’s Mother came over one day and said: “Here these are your’s now. I’m sure no one else would want them”. Then she handed the titles to Jack’s two farm trucks to Terry.
He was a little bit stunned thinking that she would much prefer selling them and pocketing the money. But no she didn’t….she said she just couldn’t sell them. Would he please come and get them and move them over to our place.
So we did.
Two years ago a man showed up wanting to buy one of the old trucks. Terry and the man looked the truck over, walked up and down talking about the truck, then he offered a price.
My Dear Husband just couldn’t sell either—after the man left he came in the house and told me that he couldn’t let the truck go; they spoke way too loudly about his Dad, the work on the farm, and the dairy those trucks had accomplished.
So they sit here, gracing our corral fence line…a constant reminder of good days gone-by and the man who stood taller than anyone in Terry’s life.
A good thing, don’t you think?
For more Good Fences head on over to Teresa’s Round*A*Round Ranch and check out all the other cool fences and gates from around the globe. Today she has some pretty nice looking cattle behind her fence photos.
Hey, while you are there add your fence or gate…it’s always fun and interesting!
Your farm friend,
Linda
