Popular Post other dog Posted July 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2014 I made one trip to Milton this week, saw this donkey just as he was about to pull a heist down at the feed store...Saw my niece in Cumberland,Va. Tuesday morning. She loves trucks and tractors!Saw bugs eating my squash, so I just pulled it up- stupid bugs!Apparently the only things I can grow is peppers and onions.My Dad grew cabbage like this every year, I never had any luck with cabbage either. This years was the best looking i'd ever grown,until the worms got them.Any driver that ever stopped at the Cumberland Restaurant on rt. 60 in Cumberland,Va. during the 60's,70's,or 80's between 11pm and 7am probably met my Dad.He worked there at night from the time I can remember, and farmed during the day. He used to leave his pocket change on top of the dresser in his bedroom. I remember one time I slipped in there and took some of it. I asked Mama if I could go to the store-French's store was a half mile up the road,rt.13 in Cumberland.We used to walk or ride our bikes up there all the time.She said "yes,do you need any money"? ..and I said "no,i've got some"...and me and my younger brother started walking to the store. I stopped before we got half way and turned around and started back home. My brother wanted to know why we weren't going to the store and I said "I just don't want to any more".I felt so guilty for taking the money. I went back and put it back on top of the dresser. Never did tell him or Mama about it. 18 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

gearhead204 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 sorry to hear that we'll have to put the campaign on hold for a little while, as you reflect back thinking about time spent with your dad I'm sure that you will find your self smiling more so than not, and this will help. don't worry their voice stays in your head for at least 6 years cuz I still hear mine tell me what is right and what is not. according to dad anyways!

BAD DOG Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 A guilty conscience will get the bet of you every time. And although sometimes it doesn't seem like it honesty is the best policy. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your dad Other Dog. I know the feeling I lost my dad a year ago today and it's something you take for granted while they're alive but life changes after they're gone. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36260-picture-of-the-week/#findComment-251976 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have been right, but i've been doing it almost 36 years now. Every time I talked to him he always asked me where i'd been, where I was going, if i'd been in any snow, seen any rain, what I was hauling, and so on... 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
