Jubilee

Steve came and got the Ford Jubilee tractor I bought from dad. It was a bittersweet day. I wanted it for myself because it was dad's. I have painted it, fixed it, drove it some, and stored it! And now it's time to let go and allow the tractor to do the job it was always meant to do. I feel reassured in knowing that it's still in the family and I can visit it anytime I want to.

We used it some, but mostly stored it. It was a back-up for when Dave's tractor quit working. I figured Steve could use it for his garden. He's an avid gardener.... he always thinks big, too. I think he got his trait from Grandpa Bates and his mom.
