Something Simple

Pappy.

Joy...
It's an afternoon spent looking at John Deere tractors from the last century.

About 10 years ago my grandparents had a large sale/auction, and he sold off a great deal of his collection, however, only in a few short years he has gathered a smaller, albeit still amazing collection, much to my Nanny's chagrin! It was great to see, hang out with, wander around, and learn the history of his beautiful work. Hearing him talk about fixing up the tractors, dating back to 1938, takes me back to a lot of memories that happened on that farm and his energy surrounding the work makes him seem young again.

There is something to be said about a person's passions. After owning his own John Deere business for over thirty years, my Pappy could tell you anything you want to know about the company and it's models. It's the simple joy of doing what you love and doing it well.

If there is one person in my life I want to be like it would be him. The best man I've ever known.
