Wednesday evening I attended a "Concert on the Bluff" at Clinton Community College in Plattsburgh. "
Beartracks" performed. This band is extremely popular in the northeast and Canada. Junior Barber plays the resonator guitar, commonly called by many, a dobro. Junior is joined by his cousins, ...Julie Venne Hogan, who plays bass, and her brother Tom Venne, who plays guitar.
The crowd gathered, many brought picnic suppers and coolers of soft drinks. The weather was a warm evening, perfect for such an event.
The giant white pine trees looked down on the scene,...
All was well in my world on Wednesday evening!
This past week was our county fair. One of the exhibits was a John Deere dealership. My almost 12 year old grandson went shopping! He works on his father's dairy farm and mows lawns for others including me. He had saved $750 for a down payment and his mom and dad signed for the rest on his behalf. However my grandson will be making the payments. He's now in business!
Mowing my lawn with the new machine!
He's a very hard worker, last year he bought himself a four-wheeler. And as you can see below he takes care of his machinery. After using the hose on the blade via the built in wash system, he turns it completely off and hoses down the top of the deck. He knows how things work, he can fix things and is very conscientious about safety. Wise beyond his years!
With this motivation I can see that he'll have a nice sum ready to start college with.
