I have always been interested in writing but never had the time. With life moving on at warp speed, you don't think about writing. Now that I'm retired, I have more time to think and put my thoughts on paper. I hope you enjoy my first attempt to tell a story to the public. I hope to write more in the near future. Sit back and take a few minutes to go back in time to your great-grandparents life, when things were a lot less complicated. I hope this puts a smile on your face. -Rufus Yates
