I grew up on a farm, the same farm my mother grew up as a child. My parents moved back to this farm to help my grandparents run the farm and look after them once they were older. This is something common in the Amish community.
I loved growing up helping my dad and grandpa on the farm. Riding horses, driving tractors and making fences were all great fun. One of the few things I disliked was the fact that most days on my birthday, we would be baling hay.
Monday evening I was over visiting Grandpa and we came across a few words in our conversation that I thought you would enjoy.
