Lost my last aunt about an hour ago
99 years and four month young.
Last of the greatest generation in family.
Sorry to hear CB, always tough to lose a family member. You are correct about the greatest generation.
 
:(
99 years and change. That's an awful long time to put up with humanity and our failings, but the sights she has seen don't compare to what she is seeing now CB..

So sorry for your loss and god bless her long life. My grandmother was 98 when she passed several years ago and still very sharp mentally. As we get older and all the aches and pains set in you don't wonder as much when the elders say they don't want to live to 100, but the longer they are around, the harder it is to let them go. Be good, she is watching over you now!!!!
 
Sorry for your loss CB. She was from a generation that most will never know. Unfortunately that's their loss.
 
CB it's a tough time when we loose a loved one. May your soul be blessed knowing the qualities she had helped form who you are! Now you are that generation that has the responsibility to model for others.

I always love to talk to this generation at work. Being a real farming community, it's amazing to hear stories of the transition from farming with horses to farming with tractors and then farming with computer-equipped tractors. I remember one gentleman telling me about how all the old guys would complain about the price of horses being too high. And the stories about the depression are just fascinating.

Sorry to hear about your loss, CB.

One of the worst whippins I ever got was over a red mule. My grandma told me not to ride the mule off. Now this lady was born in 1880 and didn't have a lot of BS in her. For some reason I decided to fail the IQ test of the day and took off down the county road, big black mouth cur ran out spooked the mule that threw me in the road.
When I got back to the house no one was concerned with my health and safety only the mules. Shortly after we had a come to Jesus meeting.
She died never believing that we had put a man in space. She also had a Model T that I never saw driven in my entire life.

Sounds like they day you found out what your azz was really made for. :lol: :lol: :hide:
 
TB I was well aware what it was for as neither of those generations had much play or room for misunderstanding when they spoke. Double jeopardy applied if a grandparent ,aunt or uncle had to straighten you out.
Someday I will have to tell you about Black Cat firecrackers a Dearborn heater and my grandmas living room,it wasn't pretty.
