Uncle Wilbur

This is part of an e-mail I just got from Great Aunt Wanda and Uncle Wilbur (their last name is Woolard... all "W's"). They are my grandmother's sister and brother-in-law:

"this past month I [Wilbur] have bushhogged the three pasture fields, started to chain saw some firewood, we bailed 1400 bales of hay in August, and I have already sold 565 bales....and as soon as possible, a guy is going to pick up another 200 bales.....and we (I) shoveled 50 bushels of ear corn into the crib, for the food for the horses for this winter....along with hay, naturally. So, it has been a busy fall. Not looking forward to winter, though.....comes too soon. Oh, and I had a 75th birthday in October..."

WOW! I don't even get that much work done at 21 years old! That's what the Marine Corp does to a person, I guess. (If you ever ask him "So you were a marine?" he'll answer "I still am!")

Here's to Aunt Wanda and Uncle Wilbur!
