Memories Forever
Captured
   I was visiting with a friend on line and he
had mentioned that he would love to take a trip to the mill and see where
I grew up and it got me to thinking that after we lost my Father just how
much things had changed and would never be the same ....including the
original shop etc.
When we lost Dad my two Brothers
decided to keep his business.
***Coincidently DAD raised his 13
children on "Sunny's Logging" and when my brothers took it over Their
were myself and a few other brothers and sisters working their. When
you added it up along with our own children "Sunny's Logging" was still
supporting 13. (2 daughters and her families and 1 son and his
family.)***
Today the shop has been updated and
redone.
Not too much of thee
original equipment remains except for the
Building Frame
and the Skidder above
we still used in the woods along with his logging trucks
I have only scanned two of these pics so
far
but I also want to add a few more of his
sawmill shop etc...
so that my children and their children can
see
what thee original sawmill looked like when
my Dad had it.
 This is where you could find Dad most of the time...
In the woods outside and doing what he loved most of all
He would have rather be in the woods than at home where the shop
was.
Besides he had us children to run things for him now and if he did
not get those logs
out of the woods to us to saw...He could not of raised his family
with what he loved most of all.
(and we at the mill wouldn't have anything else to do.)
*S*
 This was taken the first mother's day that I was a mother
when he bacame grampa to my son and his Frist
Grandchild.
I Guess now 20 years later I realize what it does mean to treasure
those years
when your not called grampa...but I also I know he also he
treasured every moment
that he had with his grandchildren.
Hmm That reminds me of his favorite "torture test" persay
he would have the grandchildren do while he entertained
them.
He would sit them in the highchair and ever so carefully place a
woodtick on the top of their hand.
Anyone who knows that those darn woodticks know that even tho they
are small they can drive you completely nuts also while crawling on
you....
NOT to mention that when you do pick them off of you they stick to
you .
Now picture a 5 month old or so in a high chair trying to get rid of
that woodtick
{ *S* }
and while he may be able to pick it up -he only manages to pass
it from one finger to another
(Dont worry they never even thought of eating it
as all children automatically have to put things in their
mouths.)
Take a second to show me where you
live.
