Making your way in the world today.....

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?  Sometimes you want to go.........
Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.
You wanna go where people know, people are all the same, 

You wanna go where everybody knows your name.


Love this theme song............sometimes in stressful days it's always good to know that someone out there is feeling the same way or trudging the same road.  Winter time = meeting time and tax time around the farm......and my favorite no doubt is meeting time!!  We are gone about 2 weekends out of the month to some locations better than others, but at a place where farmers gather together for information to start the next farm season in the best way possible.  Here we share ideas, and grow crops with in hours...........that's what farmers do best...........talk a crop that is already grown, harvested and sold...................

Gotta love the tales and stories that you hear, especially whose corn is bigger and better and so on.  The laughter of our kids playing and then the crying of those fighting with siblings and friends.  Its the place where one parent says you discipline my kid just as you would yours, and where you can walk off and know your kids are being watched by the bystanders just like their own.  Doesn't matter where we are or who we are with, you can feel the love and appreciation of the AMERICAN Farmer. 

You step out of yourself, look around and see that those around you feel and live the same way.  And as I look in I see that hard work and family is the tie that binds us all together...stories are all the same.

 

I guess its my giddyness that I enjoy these events, and times as adults where we can view agriculture around the US. We have met so many friends around the state and US that live as we do off the land.  

And the song fits...you wanna be where troubles are all the same.............and most importantly where everybody knows your name!!

I am Thankful to several organizations for allowing us the opportunity to be where everyone knows our name.............and the stories are all the same!!
