The Chair

No not George Strait's chair. Remember his song "The Chair"? When I first came out here John leased four places and owned one. He had cattle on each one and the large one he subleased part of it to a peanut farmer since he had retired from peanut farming. It was an all day job some days to check all the cows but we enjoyed it. In driving from one place to the other we would see an elderly man walking with a walker and his head was all bandaged up. One day this chair appeared beside the gate of one of the places. We were puzzled as to where it came from but we didn't throw it away. We finally realized the elderly man was walking that far and then sitting on it to rest before he started his journey back to his house. We heard several years later that the man was in a nursing home and the chair finally disappeared. When I run across this picture it reminds me to keep trying, don't give up. When you look around you can always see someone worse off then yourself.
