Granddaddy

I took these pictures the summer of 1999 when Starr and I were in Tennessee visiting. Granddaddy was 91 years old at the time. No longer actively farming, he did hop to the rescue when the gentleman who rented the pasture’s vehicle was stuck and needed to be pulled/towed to a more solid location.
Granddaddy knew what needed to be done, and did it. I love that top picture…that smile! I think he was happy that I was there…no, I think he was happy to have an excuse to get on and use the tractor. And the bottom one? At 91 years old, crawling under the tractor to make an adjustment?? Awesome.
