Like Father Like Son
Oh my gosh. Sometimes events take place and I am tele-ported back in time. Forty nine years back in fact. In 1964 Orlin and I lived in a rental home in Riesel Texas. It was single-wall build and built on grade. We had mud daubers (harmless, but looking like wasps) that would build nests in our closets when we were not looking. Scorpions would hide in our bath towels and we wouldn’t see them until you were soaking wet and ready to come out of the shower reaching for that selfsame towel. The back porch was infested with termites but — it was our first home.
Orlin was so proud of finding a used riding mower at a great price that he couldn’t wait to use it in the backyard. He didn’t score the mower until late in the day but the head lights of the 1956 Buick Hearse lit the way for him to get that yard in shape.
Fast forward to 2013 in downtown Fairfax as son Kevin and his wife Kersten are making their mark in real estate. Everyone needs a weed whip to take care of less than desirable greenery. When the weed whip is acquired late in the day, why not use the headlights of a Ford pickup to light the way? Priceless!
