Every Sunday brought an invitation to the Pastor and family to usually a chicken dinner. A wonderful departure from the depression dinner fare of a bowl of bread and milk my little brother and I became used to. For breakfast we did have eggs, Grandpa could eat a dozen at a time, he needed the protein to follow horses and plow around the fields of his 80 acre lease-farm. It killed him, however at age 67.
In 1941, with cars whizzing by we went to church in a horse and wagon driving on the side of a narrow road.
Grandpa, who earlier liked to visit with drivers in cars going by, distracted, ran up across a wooden sidewalk into a store window one day. Grandma forbid him to ever drive a car again.
He was man of his time.
