Remember pulling live hogs into the shop area for FFA. Butchering said hogs and having an FFA fundraiser with the meat we processed in shop class.

Lava was like using your bottom jaw as a steam shovel in the cats litter box.

A Boy Scout camporee at the current site of Riverwood golf course. They released live chickens. We ran them down and wrung their necks. Pulled feathers and cooked them over an open fire . We were thrilled.

Getting to drive the pickup to the grain elevator with dad( I was 8). Dad taking us out fishing for perch in the evenings filling up a bucket and then spending all night cleaning them. I could buy .22 shells and it didnt matter how old i was, fixing fence in summer and trimming lilac tree branches in the fall was always a dreaded chore. Driving around with dad in the spring to shoot muskrats in the flooded ditches, thought I was rich when we would drop them off at the fur buyer. Grandma’s egg salad sandwhiches and choclate chip cookies for lunch during harvest. Funny how growing up we cant wait to be adults and experience life, and now I wish I had some of those days back
