Dad Would Milk the Cows

 DAD WOULD MILK THE COWS

When dad would milk the cows he would take the milk to the basement and run it though our cream separator so my mother would have cream to churn into butter.  We also raised a big garden and mother canned.

I remember one time around Christmas my father came home from work and started to take off his boots on the back porch and fell down in the process.  It seems that they had a few drinks after work celebrating Christmas.  Well, after he fell down he said to himself, “Well then I will take you off sitting down”.  I never remember seeing my father take a drink.
