I  owe, I  owe so off to work you go!

Not many people stay so pleasant when going off to work on a hot summer day.  Hats off to my hubby – my darling, dashing Englishman.  He decided to be an American belonging to me sixty-four years ago.  Of course, then he thought I was going to belong to him!  I owe, I owe so off to work he goes.  Sweetheart of mine!

About oneta hayes

ABOUT ME Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you.

By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before.

      Thank you, Roo. I just read your account of farm life with brother. Enjoyed the farm memories. I was a farm girl although I seldom went to the barn. My biggest venture into the outdoor farm life was the chicken house. 😀
