Days on the farm

We grew up on a farm and did everything by hand, from plowing to putting in tobacco, picking cotton, shaking peanuts, and pulling corn from sun-up to sunset. They were hard working days but so much family fun, with four boys and two girls all close in age. We are all grown now with grandchildren and great grands. We range in age from 70 years to 58 years. Ma and Daddy have been gone. We meet each year on Thanksgiving or Christmas in my home and talk about those good old days and have much fun.
