I don't think so. It was our job to keep putting the pipe that just came out up front again and Mom used the pry bar.

The one on the right isn't really into it. When he gets to the bar later he'll be saying he did it "all by himself".

That's real horsepower I'd say,and they didn't need gas back in the day,just plenty hay!
That was how they did it in those years.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
