For the treasured memories vsn challenge, using last week's sketch, flipped.
My family did custom hay baling during the summer. We all got involved! All during my teen years, I ran the rotary rake, using the old blue ford ferguson tractor, and shared the baler drawn by the "poppin' Johnny" (John Deere) with my dad. Mom and dad shared the mower, and we all hauled. It was hard work, and I loved it!
This card honors my dad with his clever humor. There's a photo of Dad and my cousin in the challenge thread--
The highest compliment he ever gave me was that I did a better job with the baler than my sisters. Ha!

I think its easier to miss those days of family sharing the work (after you don't have to do it anymore haha) I miss that part but, not the actually dealing with the bales ACHoo!
