Joy

Life on the farm in Minnesota was difficult; nine kids, no mother and a dad who was gone much of the time building silos on neighboring farms. But kids are kids and fun is found no matter the circumstances. Mother and her sister often told us how they would ride the sheep, racing each other and holding on for dear life to the wool. Bridles were never mentioned which is probably why they fell off so often. But it is one of their most treasured memories.
