OK, first things first. The picture of your dear wife working on the pickup makes my knees and back hurt! LOL Good for her. But the rest of the pictures are great. I have a Massey 175 I should paint purple if and when I ever get it running. On second thought maybe I should paint my little buddy, the SC Case purple. (yeah, I know, Case guys). Purple was one of the school colors when I was in school.

Down on the farm here in northwest Iowa I can't say we had a bad year. The crops went in easy last spring and the yields were surprisingly better then I expected after the hot dry August we had. Marilyn and I survived a bout with Covid without side effects that I know of as did my daughter in law and one granddaughter. My son's feed trailer leasing business and feed trucking business seems to be doing well and his oldest daughter is high up there in the ranks with her barrel racing. The buckle she won is almost bigger than she is!

Our oldest granddaughter is established in the cosmetology business and is in the beginning stages of shopping for a house of her own, her two younger sisters are in college working toward a career of their own someday.

My dad's passing was a bummer for me along with selling his house but in reality it was joyful to know he is finally in heaven with my mother.

I am very aware of our country's problems and the heartache of those who are out of a job, those who were forced to close their business and also those who lost loved ones suddenly due to the new illness.

I am pretty darned lucky with my general health. A few glitches have come up mainly due to age but it is nothing like what Loren is going through and all of you others who are stuck with an unfortunate serious painful life threating illness.

So to sum it up I don't look at 2021 as a new beginning for me. I look at 2021 as an extension of the blessings life has given me. I feel very fortunate.

Have a happy new year everyone. Keep your chin up.
