Grandpa John's interest in old tractors has followed through to a lot of the family. John and Dad have a Townsend. Not many were made and even fewer are still available.<BR/>Such wonderful memories of Mike.

While I miss my dad and spending time with him, I don't miss all those HOT, windy, dusty, dirty, summer days when the "old thresher's show" took place. And the hay fever and asthma that went with them for me as a child. While I'm glad so many members of the family are still carrying on this tradition because I know how happy it would make my dad, I'm all too happy to stay at home in air conditioned comfort and participate vicariously via electronic images on my computer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795926538814429903.post-28878938666145931012009-01-13T10:41:00.000-06:002009-01-13T10:41:00.000-06:00A very neat family hobby!A very neat family hobby!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795926538814429903.post-25960883492619367912009-01-13T08:35:00.000-06:002009-01-13T08:35:00.000-06:00I enjoyed this post.

My dad and his brothers had a threshing business, but sadly, we have no pictures of them or the thresher.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296050573667055406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795926538814429903.post-88845906254810288272009-01-12T22:33:00.000-06:002009-01-12T22:33:00.000-06:00This just so happens to be my favorite weekend of ...This just so happens to be my favorite weekend of the year! It may be HOTT, but I don't enjoy anything else as much as I do the Thresher Show.
