THEY KEPT US FED AND A' WORKIN': 94-YEAR-OLD JANCER FRANKLIN, still tending his life's garden. Ep.22
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มี.ค. 2024
- At 94 years old, Jancer Franklin is still farming. He’s rarely traveled more than a few miles from home and has spent his entire life farming to support himself, his wife, Roxie, and their three children. His farm is perched on top of a mountain in the remote and storied Shelton Laurel section of Madison County, NC.
We spend time with Jancer on two different occasions as he shares stories from his life, as a child working from dawn till dusk alongside four brothers, to buying his own farm on an adjoining piece of land he bought from his uncle and starting a family. You’ll really enjoy getting to know this wonderful fellow who is still going strong, and hearing stories from his daughter, Karen, about growing up on their mountaintop farm.
We have just passed the one-year mark since we started The Face of Appalachia! In the upcoming months we’ll continue to produce these documentary-style episodes as well as shorter ones highlighting interesting people, places, and ideas from our beloved Appalachian Mountains. We appreciate you joining us and hope you’ll stay tuned.
This is my grandfather, there is not another man on earth as humble as he is . My aunt Karen is as sweet as they come also. As far back as I can remember papaw jancers was always my favorite place to be
Your lucky & blessed
Rickey, Thanks for reaching out. You are a lucky fellow and glad to hear you have fond memories of them and their farm.
Not him saying he didn’t need a job he likes dirt too much. Sir, you’ve worked harder than most of us ever will.
Yeah that is funny. He works harder every day than most folks do on a "regular" job I imagine.
I'm in TC Dr@@thefaceofappalachia
And loved doing it ❤
And he’ll never see this
Indeed.❤
~APRIL LIPKE
Crazy to say that is my great grandfather, best grandfather there is. Love this ❤
Thats so great. Thanks for letting us know!
Love listening to old timers talk about their lives
We do to. We appreciate you watching and hope you'll stick with us for some more great stories.
These people are the blood and bone of America and a great part of our history.
They truely are. Glad to know you connect with them. Thanks for watching.
He still looks like he could put in a good days work. Those guys from that generation were tough.
We are in the ozark hills and my Daddy taught me the trees and herbs that grow here. I hunted and fished. Grow a garden. And work cattle.I delivered my first calf at 10 years old.My Daddy was born in 1918.He wanted me to learn everything in case of hard.times.He is in heaven now but his legacy going on. I know I will see him in heaven. Love and miss him.
Kathy, we really appreciate you sharing your own story and sounds like you all had a great relationship with your dad. I am amazed at the depth of practical knowldge these folks have and love that they want to pass it on to the next generation.
Good stock. Good friends. Good living.
Good values.
They are, for sure. Glad you appreciate them. Thanks for tuning in.
That sounds like what we had in the Confederacy. Not D.C., Detroit, Chicago, and Philly.
Amazing man, what I noticed was how strong he still is and his hands...no arthritic joints! This is what hard work does for the human body. Great video, wish the old ways were still here and the appreciation of the past. Current generation has been made soft like butter!
Love this were farmers raised are children ,on the farm . We are a close family. We love the land and Blessed to have the Freedom we've had . Things that are hard are worth having .,I wouldn't trade are life ,would love to have a conversation ,with him. So strong❤
Mr. Jancer is a fine man, full of wisdom. I bought canning beans from him several times . He's so kind!!!
Thats great to know. Everyone I have talked to that has met him, even briefly, feels the same warmth and appreciates the depth of his farming knowledge.
These old time mountain people are some of the best people on earth.these are people we should look up to and respect.God Bless and thanks for the interview.
They are a special breed, for sure. They are so strong and yet loving and sharing folk.
That farm is his whole world, but a world we should all be blessed with.
A credit to the human race. Backbone of what America was built on!
This man is America!
So true. Thanks for watching and getting in touch.
WAS. The values in his and my family line are gone now, especially the work ethic (and patriotism in our case, with 4 WWII vets, 1 Korean War vet, and then me following in the Rapid Deployment Force under Reagan). Ted Kennedy's Immigration Act of 1965 and Refugee Act of 1980, LBJ, and the Democrat conversion to communist and white-haters, destroyed the nation.
This is a TRUE AMERICAN ........ Sad to see what has become of our Country.
He may not have much book learning but a very smart man. Happy with his life and rightly so
Yes he seems very content with the life he has carved out on this mountain top. We appreeciate you tuning in.
Sad to see this caliber of folks disappearing from the country. A true community rooted in their heritage & soil
Don, it is sad as that generation passes, but it great to see some of the younger folks adopting at least some of those ways, as there is a timeless truth to them that I think we all can understand and appreciate.
I've always had an intestinal illness that me from being able to do much manual labor. I ts made me have a deep admiration for people who work with there back and hands!
@@chrisdoggett368 So what would you have done in 1830 or 1881? = worked anyway
God bless this man for his hard work an dedication to his family an farm
Dennis, so nice to know you enjoyed the video and appreciate Mr. Jancer. Hope you'll keep watching.
If we had people running our country now with this kind of integrity and vale’s wouldn’t it be a much better place!
Totally agree…He and his generation and those like him is what made America great. his ancestors would be proud of him and his legacy. God bless him .
Yes! Instead we have a person who lacks basic morals and ethics who brags about abusing women 😊
He's too honest, like me, a veteran and modest-living man who always did honest labor. D.C. attracts a den of thieves. Today, they have to do what Israel says.
The word government literally means mind control. External government is slavery. External government is organized crime. The only acceptable form of government is self governance.
People are lazy and intitled. Turned 64 today and still bricklaying. You got to be tough on the Eastern Shore! We don't like lazy!
God has bless this humble man with a peaceful life, health and family and it shows. A real example of a great son, husband and dad. Thank you sir for sharing a bit of your life with us.
Dad will be 87 this year and he reminds me of him. Gentle souls who know nothing but work. Dad still gardens and climbs on the tractor occasionally to help my brother farm.😊
That is awesome! So happy to hear he is able to get out and work if he wants.
What a wonderful interview. Mr. Franklin is a national treasure. He is what America was made of, hard working man of the farm, wonderful son, amazing husband and father. I hope he lives another 30 years on his beautiful farm. His daughter is so blessed to have such amazing parents and an understanding husband who shares her with her father. That whole family and ancestors are what made America great.
We agree! Thanks for letting us know how you connected with them and appreciate how they live and work together. This kind of hard work and close-knit families are an inspiration.
Some of the finest, most honest people of integrity on earth. My kinda people..Love this.
You are certainly right on that. Thanks for watching!
Great video Tim brangs back some great memories from my childhood. I miss them days so bad I’m not cut out for this run and gun lifestyle everyone is in now. I’m old school always will be till THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS JESUS CHRIST calls me Home Amen 🙏.
Randle, so great to know you are hanging in their with us and enjoying the videos!
Clean food,healthy life, great families.
Yes, thank you. We appreciate you watching and getting in touch.
Cherish your Dad, lost mine 2 year ago come October 16th. I miss him a great deal. Still got mother, feel blessed for that.
Sorry to hear that, but happy to know you're mom is still with you. My mom just turned 96 and is doing well all things considered at that age, so hoepfully they'll have many more years.
He reminds me of my grandfather who was raised right over the mountain in East Tennessee. He farmed his whole life also. Raised ten children no electricity no indoor plumbing. They were a great family that all went on to have successful lives.
Jerry, thanks for sharing you memories. Its amazing to hear how many people lived such a hard life, by todays standards for sure, and yet remember it fondly . Obviously it built strong character for the children to go on to have such fullfilling lives.
Im 58 and I grew up on a 36 acre farm that my dad rented for $35 a month an old 2 story house that was built in 1875, We had a cystern {if Ispelled that right} that caught rain water from the roof. We had a big garden, rased hogs, turkeys, chickens and ducks. I now have a house in the city. I wish I could live in the country again. This video is better than any TV show.
Jerry, thanks for sharing your story. Things sure have changed from the days you grew up on the farm. So happy to hear you enjoyed meeting Jancer and his family. We appreciate you watching and hope you'll share the ones you like with friends, so we can continue to make good programs like this one.
They are so rich in love and that farm is so beautiful. God has blessed him with a good long life and loving family. He has had a life the rest of us wished we would have had.
Yes, he feels blessed and knows how fortunate he is to have a loving family to help out when he needs them. Thanks for watching!
Sir you do a great job interviewing these genuine people. Thank you
I couldn't finish watching as it made me too sad for what has been lost. Blood and soil!
There is a sense of loss for sure. But hopefully we can celebrate the ones still here and what they went though in their lives to shape a better world for us.
It is sustenance living. Very difficult on the body. Technology helps out, though these days. To me these videos are a wonderful invitation to go back to the land, and to nature's God.
This younger generation wouldn't last a day with a man like this ! I'm in my early 60's and can remember a peddler coming around my great grand parents farm . Worked in the fields as young as 6 years old. Tobacco was our main crop. Work was hard, but you sure slept good at night !
Thanks for sharing a bit of you story and great memories. Farming is a hard life but it can be rewarding to know you can support yourself and your family with your labors.
Lucky daughter to have a dad like that.
What a sweet smile he has 😊
He has a twinkle in his eye and is sucha gentle soul for sure.
Much of what he had to say struck a chord with me. I worked open quarry mining for 37 years. Working outside, in the dirt, was so much better than working in an office, which I did for 6 years. My dad sold his farm way before I was born, he got it from his Dad, never worked it and served 31 years in the Army. I believe I would have done well as a farmer. Hard work and most times, plenty to eat.
Thats a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing your history and a bit about your family. There are many ways to live but farming, while hard, is a rewarding one.
an incredible life hes lived and seen
He truly has lived thru interesting times and seems all the stronger for it!
To me this man and those of his type are true backbone of America! Bless him and all who loves him! 🙏💕 Great hearing these stories. Much better than the news! 🥰
Yes, he is a true gem. We love finding interesting folks and showcasing the positive. Thanks for watching.
I so love salt of the earth people. My mama was a farm girl. Even though we lived in the city growing up, people always thought we had just arrived from the country. 😅 What a humble man he is, with so many survival skills and wisdom. Keeping up with the rhythm of life is the best way to live, and he's doing that. What a blessing he is. Did u see how proud he is of his daughter? Thank u so much for his story. ❤❤❤
Shirley, Thanks you for getting in touch and for your thoughts. We really appreciate you watching and glad to hear you enjoyed meeting these great folk.
There are still people out there that live such lives today.. 😊😊😊
Yes. Harder to find as each generation passes, but there are still folks who can share stories to those of us who are interested, thankfully.
My daughter lives so much like this.
Jancer, u bout the coolest Dude I’ve seen!
He is, for sure. Thanks for watching.
I'm from Mississippi, my daddy was born in 1926. He was the oldest of 6 boys and 2 girls. He said growing up they always had several cousins and other kids living with they. My grandfather would take in other kids if their family could not take care of them. They would pay my grandfather so much a month and my grandfather would make sure they were clothed and feed and send them to school and they worked after school on his farm. They don't make people like that now.
Social services says it's abuse to have your kids work on the farm. What horsepucky. It's really healthy to work.
Thats a fascinating story. Sounds like he had a good heart and was a caring felow. I know it made all the difference in those kids lives.
Jancer is a wonderful man, everybody's grandpa.❤
Yes, a lot of people seem to share that sentiment. He is a great fellow.
Oh how I miss my Daddy. A Texas depression farm boy, he'd be 94 also. He grew up in overalls and bare feet loving buttermilk and hot cornbreadm
My daddy grew up helping his family sharecrop in Texas. He would be 97 this year. It's been almost 5 years, and I miss him every day
Maybe just an old farmer, Mr. Franklin, but the kind of man we should strive to be!
We agree! Thanks for reaching out.
You can always notice a true country boy by them putting on their good button up shirt and their good overalls. 🇺🇸
My dad to a tee.That is what he told us to bury him in.Thats what we did.😢
My grandfather always told me the tractor ruined farming. Mules don't break down if you treat them right!
There is a beauty to wacthing horse and mules work, for sure and necessary of the steep hills where tractors turn over and kill people every year around here.
He is a fine man. He is healthy and young looking. That's from his hard work and eating wholesome simple foods he grew himself. Not full of additives. God Bless him.
Thats what we call an honest & hard-working American man! It was an honor to hear about his life & I look forward to his 100th birthday video! God bless this good man and his family🙏🙏
Well said! Thanks for watching and we'll hope he has an even longer life.
I really like this gentleman. We need him for President. The country would be a better place.
We agree. We'll get the bumper stickers printed soon!
That father daughter hug at the end❤
I’m so ready to get up to the mountains and finish out my life the way you guys did and still do.. After 43 years of city life I’ve had enough of it.. It’s corrupt and unrighteous and to fast for me.. I never was a city boy but I couldn’t help how I was raised.. I was raised by a family who came from the Appalachian Mountains and a lot of my blood lines came from their, and I understand why people left and came into the city it had more money and materials and etc, but it came with horrible corruption greed lust and a lot of other issues I had to grow up in… I’m now 43 and trying my hardest to finish up my convictions and debt I collected throughout my life as a city boy that way when I come up there I won’t drag anything behind me… and I’m 90% done and ready for my travel.. I need to get were my soul and heart is bleeding to be and your life is were I need to be…
Thanks for sharing your story. We wish you the best in making your next step in life and hope you can find the community you want to spend the next years amoung. That makes a big difference in keeping things on track.
Don’t make them like that anymore ,94 still no glasses !
He seems to be in pretty good health, some hearing issues as you would imageine but still getting around great. Wish that for us all.
That’s my great grandfather 🩷🩷
How neat. He's a wonderful man. I hope you enjoyed the video. We intend it to be a great tribute to him.
You should be a very proud person. Your great grandfather is an example of a man who made this country great.
Such a sweet video. His daughter is a good person for staying with him so he can stay in his home.
So happy to hear you enjoyed the video. They are a fun and loving family, for sure.
My Paw Paw wore overalls all the time. Granny said he had a whole drawer full of new ones but would wear the same ones till they worn out. Looks like he put on a new pair for this video. What a treasure. He sounds just like my kin from Western NC. So sad about his brother. Family was so much closer back in those days. That must have been such a devastating time and that he found him. They depended on each other for survival. My other Grandaddy, on my mother’s side, helped my great aunt survive after she nursed her husband with TB until his death at a young age. Leaving her and a young son behind with no way to make a living. At that time two families were living off the salary of a mechanic at a small service station. I was so fortunate to grow up with all this love for one another. It has made me into the person I am today.
Wow, what a fascinating story. It sounds like your folks and kin lived through some trying times but survied all the stronger. I knwow it must have been tough on Jancer loosing his briother and being the one to find him. I thought it was touching that his dog Timmy came up to nuzzle him right as he was telling that part of his story, even though he had been in the room the whole time. Thanks for sharing your family story!
Coveralls Sears and Roebuck
My Papaw was from Shelton Laural.He was a farmer an worked for the ASCS office in Erwin Tn until he retired.Even after he retired people would come to his house for his advice on farming.He farmed up till the day he passed away❤.
My father worked for the ASCS office in the 70’s. Working southwest Virginia and northeast Tn. He farmed until he became bedfast.
@@anns1014 so sorry,we were lucky to have that knowledge an put it to use still to thus day.
Thanks so much for sharing his story. It sounds like he was well respected and loved to help people.
@@thefaceofappalachia he was dearly beloved man,a real down home Christian man.I miss him everyday.This story brought back alot of memories growing up.
People seem to think it`s "low class" to live in a very rural area and try to be as self-sufficient as possible. I asked one guy why he had a huge yard and no garden or fruit trees. "Not enough time (gaming) and fruit trees attract bugs." The first thing I did when I got back on a rural Louisiana lot is start building a vegetable garden, plant as many various fruits & berries as I could, and start getting the prepping tools & supplies I`ll need to survive if things keep going downhill. I made the mistake of living in the city limits of a town beside a major highway for over a decade. People stole my vegetables in my garden, my window air conditioners, copper wiring, my truck, lawnmower, tools, BBQ grill, tiller, pets...everything. Never again.
These fine folks know what is truly valuable.
So true. Thanks for reaching out and for watching.
Those low back Pointer Brand bib overalls reminds me of most of the old farmers I knew growing up. Mr. Jancer as well as them were special people.
The Pointer brand has been around a long time and is certainly popular in our area. Glad you enjoyed getting to know Jancer. Thanks for watching.
@@thefaceofappalachia I've worn out many pairs of Pointer overalls, jeans and shorts.
Thank you. Many fled his way of life for the industrial complex...thinking it was healthier, more reliable, and easier. We now know it is toxic, fragile, and in the long run destroying our mental health...due to its "ease." Im a wage slave seeking liberation to a subsistence life...i want the difficulties and struggles that are real, not the mind games of corporate politics and greed.
You have that right!
Well said.
There is something to be said for the farm life, even though you are at the mercy of nature and the elements, but it is a satisfying way of life and one that definetly builds character.
I hope you find your way there. This is the third video I have seen where the individual farming is over 90!
What a content man. "You cant beat good frinds,"?😊. Their lives soundsnlike mine. We had beans, cornbread, and ffried potatos for many meals. 😋. His daughter is darling. Their love for one another makes me so happy.
They are a loving and supportive family who have lived through some lean times but they seem happy and content with their life. Can't ask for much more than that.
@@thefaceofappalachiaIt's the freedom that makes them so content. They live life on their own terms. Toss in shelter, food, and family and you find a little slice of utopia.
This is the real America.
It is. Thanks for tuning in.
It is such a treat to see a caliber of a man.not many of these people left anymore with these types of morals.💯🙏🏼
True
Reminds me of my granny’s place I miss that place so bad it’s all been handed down and sold with houses on it now makes me sick to see it now knowing I run all over the many acres she had now not allowed to step on it. I can’t go there anymore it breaks my heart knowing that to.
Randle, so good to hear from you as always. All of that does sound tough. No one can ever take away your memories and the life experience you had growing up!
How kind of him to be willing to sit & share on this venue! Thank you for sharing his story ❤️🤍💜
Our pleasure! We were fortunate to be able to share his story. We appreciate you watching and getting in touch.
Exits another interview of Jancer? He is too adorable and we can learn a lot from our older people
We have other parts we are going to use in other videos upcoming so stay tuned!
Looks like he’s ahead of mostly everyone else! He has peace, great food, and a very loving family! He already has a peace of heaven with him already!❤
What a man, what a man , beautiful life !!! ♥️
He is great, you are right. Glad you enjoyed meeting him
The man is real smart. He's intelligent, I know a good man when I see and hear him.
May the Lord bless this family.
Hes always worked hard and now he dont even know what to do with his hands, he wants to be busy. Bless his heart !
I think I'll make Fried potatoes & onins and corn bread tomorrow with homemade butter they made me hungry enough i could almost smell it. Lol.
Thank you Lord for giving him long years on this beautiful earth and may we listen up to our elders and do whats right!
Amein.🙏
May more of todays men turn out more like him and know the value of hard work and providing for families.
So glad you enjoyed meeting Jancer. He is a fine man and I got hungry just listening to him as well.
Sweet story, I’m so happy that his daughter is able to be with him as much as she is.
Yes, she was there on both visits we made, and another daughter on the third visit, so he is lucky to have three supportive children to help out when needed.
What a treasure.
Glad you think so too. We appreciate you watching.
A good story from good people. God bless them ❤
Thanks for tuning in to meet Jancer and his family.
That was nice. I'm glad he is so self sufficient and he has a lovely daughter to spend time with. My friends mom just passed away last week. She was 100. People from that generation seemed to be healthier and living longer. She lived alone and was still active. She lived a long happy life. Thanks for sharing thier story.
Tracy; Sorry for you loss. We appreciate you getting in touch and sharing your thoughts.
My father had the same story working the farmer,but he came to the city to work in a factory. My father lasted until 90 yrs old.
Sounds like he had a long life!
All I can say is thanks for sharing this wonderful man’s story!
Thanks for listening. We are so glad you enjoyed the story.
"You can take thean out of the mountains, but you can't take the mountains out of the man." Quite true. I grew up with people like this fine gentleman, the salt of the earth, kind and giving souls. Thanks for sharing.
And thank you fpr watching and letting us know you enjoyed the episode on Jancer.
They sure didn't need to go to a gym to burn calories ❤❤ They worked very hard.
Yes they do. Thanks for getting in touch!
Wow, he is awesome. Still going at 92, good hardworking Christian living. Respect Sir, respect.
He is one amazing and inspiring gentleman. Thanks for letting us know you enjoyed meeting him.
What a Sweet and enjoyable time with you here, Mr. Jancer and Wife. 🍃🌸🍃
SO glad you enjoyed spending time wiith Jancer and his family. Thanks for tuning in.
this is an outstanding video.
I could sit at this man's feet for hours. great appreciate this video.
This is an amazing video, please do more of this gentleman. He reminds me of my great grandpa.
So happy to hear you enjoyed the video. We had so much material from time spent with him that I'm sure we'll include segments in other upcoming videos, so stay tuned!
Blessings and good health for Jancer
Yes, he seems to be getting around pretty well. Climbing hills with just a tobacco stick for a prop.
His real job..Was farming. His clock was the Sunrise and sunset..And reward was from his on labor . Great.
Sweet man, and sweet daughter, thankyou for sharing your life it's encouraging. Off grid in Oklahoma Mt Momma
Thanks for watching and for getting in touch!
Please do more on this man and his family. It really intrigued me that his last name is Franklin. My mother’s maiden name is Franklin. We live in Illinois
Yes, there's a Franklin Mountain Road just across the way thats always one of my favorite rural drives. I'm sure it was named for his family back at some point. We'll certainly have more videos with Jancer in them coming up so keep watching!
Great video and fantastic people. I wish everyone saw the real beauty in these old farms and the sweat that has been put into them. Sadly most only see dollar signs these days.
Mike. It does seem that a lot of the land gets sold off as more people choose not to farm. Its a hard life. As you can tell we love the old farms and how peole molded them to fit their needs with clearing and planting and building structures.
Mike, these old places are truly amazing. My wife's grandpa cleared 30 acres by hand with a cross-cut saw, a mule and a rope. I can remember him still using a sled and a mule in his garden. It is a gift to get to go and see farms like Jancer's. Thanks for spending some time with our channel.
Very blessed family . Perfect example of what made America America hard working country folk . If only politicians had the heart these people do our country would be blessed .
Thank you for the wonderful video of a terrific Father and daughter.
You are so kind. Glad to know you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.
@@thefaceofappalachia Thank you.
Thank you, Jancer for sharing your story. I'm 66yo and grew up on a farm in Wisconsin. 💯❣️
We appreciate you watching and so glad you enjoyed the story. You live in a beautiful area of the country!
What a sweetheart, God bless him and his family.
He is. So much fun to be around and talk to. Thanks for letting us know you enjoyed the video.
That was wonderful. God bless Jancey and his daughter, and her understanding husband.
So glad you enjoyed getting to know the. They are great folks for sure.
Wonderful video and story. Thank you for sharing. He reminds me so much of my Grandpa. He lived to age 88. Never sick. Farmed. Had 3 gardens on different grounds. He rode a 3-wheeled bicycle with baskets to carry his garden produce. Everyone in the area had tomatoes, beans, corn, radishes, carrots, strawberries, peas, etc, all summer long. I helped in the gardens alot. It was wonderful!!
Sounds like you have some great memories. We appreciate you sharing your story. Sounds like a bountiful farm and area. I can just imagine him on the bike!
I miss my granny so bad to. She could do or fix anything to
That was a great generation with so many practical skills. Food is always a binding thing in families.
Great episode, purely enjoyed every minute, …. Mr Jancer is a pure gem
He certainly is and so gald you are finding value in the stories we produce. Hope you'll check out some of the others and stay tuned for more!
I'm 55 born to mama born 1928 and daddy 1911. Every word this dear man said I heard, lived and said. Good ole days!!!
Thanks for getting in touch and happy to hear you can connect with this.
I miss my grandfather, Rufus and my nanny, AnnKatrin ... I thank them evey day for all they gave me❤ best people Ive ever known. Gentle humble and honest they were!
So glad this brought back good memories of your own grandparents and what they meant to you.
I’m from the neighboring county of Haywood…this gentleman reminds me so much of my granddad…it’s a beautiful life he’s lived for sure…blessings to him his family and to you for capturing him and his amazing story to share with us❤🙏🏻
Donna; Thank you for watching and sharing with us. We are trying hard to find interesting folk and tell their stories so its great when folks like you let us know how much they are enjoying getting to know the people. All the best.
I grew up that way in Arkansas.
Our every day meal was pinto beans, fried potatoes and cornbread or biscuits.
Most of the time it was 1 meal a day. Now on weekends and depending on what time of the tear. The meat would come from a steer and a hog we butchered or game & fish. . I rem😢1st time I had goulash when that hit my taste buds I think feet did the happy dance.
Clint. Sounds like great memories. Thanks for sharing. You can see in the video how important eating good was to the, when they worked as hard as they did!
What is goulash?
@@user-wr1yh2zw6l well hamburger, noodles. Onions and tomatoes with tomato paste sorta like a hearty stew but thicker
@@clintjohnson7023 sounds good.
What a blessed family, dad is a happy and humble man. We should be so lucky ! 😊
Yes we should. We agree.
Oh how I love this. This man is one of the finest you will ever met.
We agree. We've been by to visit several times and always are welcomed and love our time with him and his family. Thanks you for watching and letting us know youu enjoyed the video.
Book learning can’t compare with learning from work on a farm like that. I miss that lifestyle growing up on a farm
You and me both!
there is all kinds of "smarts" right?
AMEN 🙏🏾
NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO LEARNING FROM THE LAND THAT TEACHES LIFE SKILLS AND SURVIVING FROM PLANTING SEEDS IN THE EARTH 🥬🍆🥔🫛🍅🫑🧅
True. He made it to 5th grade which taught him reading, math and writing. Which is all you need in most things.
