Well, being its a Monday, and I hate to drone on extra nonsense in my intro blog; I just wanted to say to any music enthusiast that the song "Amarillo sky" by James Aldean makes me have mixed feelings. This song made me think fondly of how my dad raised us kids on the farm and what an awesome set of parents I have. Ironically, at the same time, the song makes me really depressed because I won't have the opportunity to raise my family on a farm. It's a wonderful way of life and great to raise a family, but when a living cannot be made, it simply cannot be done.
(it is a good song though, I recommend giving it a listen)
Fortunately, my brother has been able to keep the farm in the family, unfortunately, he still needs to have my should-be-retired father helping him with some chores because he still has to work another full time job. I am really glad my dad doesn't mind, I actually think it's good. Sometimes when older farmers do TRULY retire, they lose their purpose and start to fade, I've seen it happen too much and heard of many other instances too. Plus, it gives my folks good opportunity to bond with their grandchildren that live there.
Another uplifting thought (good gracious, I've been in MN too long, I actually am developing sarcasm) was brought up when I was talking to my friend Preston the other day. He reminded me that an important day is one month away. I had to groan when I realized that he was talking about Valentines day. Yay for the patron Saint of lovers, but there's not too much for me to look forward to this year. Maybe another year I'll have a little more anticipation for the Saint's day.
