Farm Chores

Grandpa Darrell has been determined to get his old Ford tractor to start up again. Getting the new starter in proved to be a two-man job, so we came over to lend a hand.

Gloriosky! The starter worked! For almost four seconds! That's ok, there's a few more techniques we're ready to try to get it really running.

And before they tore down the old garage, which used to be the old summer kitchen, we went in and cleaned out a few items. There was an old tin sign that read "Ernest Mohr recommends . . . " and some seed brand logo, and on a shelf covered in dust we found Grandpa Darrell's very own homemade skateboard! Just a wooden board with rollerskate wheels screwed on.  Lenora was desperate to brave the windy day and bring Grandpa back his lost, but not forgotten, toy.
