[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1601858, member: 3162"] My maternal granddaddy had a bum knee from a sawmill accident. He still had the garden going on well into his 90's. He'd sit in a folding chair with a hoe and reach all he could. Then he'd fold that chair up and use it sort of like a crutch to move along. Sit back down and hoe again. Every day. Straw hat on and snuff in his lip. They were happy. They had purpose. If you killed a deer you damn well better skin it out at his place. He had everything you needed. He could sugar or salt cure ham. Home made jelly. Canned vegetables. There was always more on the table than anyone could eat. I hope my grand kids have as fond of memories of me as I had of all my grandparents. [/QUOTE]
