Well good for you and your folks - your story is lost on most today - My dad built our home entirely by himself - dug the basement by hand - like your dad he never borrowed money for anything - i worked summers with him on the job and at home on our li'll place as a kid - i worked my way thru college and held two jobs - uhm not beat'n on you - but that American you and your dad experienced is LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG GOOOOOOOOOONE - i got out of the service in the late 50's - and there were jobs everywhere - good jobs - jobs that paid enough that only one parent had to work outside the house hold - BUT THEN - oh never mind - i SALUTE U AND YOUR DAD - SEMPER FIOh-I get it, that's why I posted it. Maybe you lost the meaning somehwere????:mischeif:
If it wasn't for them we wouldn't have what we have today. My father came here as an immigrant in the early 50's with $25.00 in his pocket, worked to save enough to get mom here, and then saved enough to get my grand parents here. He left his homeland to try to have a better life,and succeeded.
Then he paid cash for his 1st home and then his second home-which he still lives in, and then his land that he bought after working long hours and as much overtime that he could. He never had a mortgage and paid for everything in cash. He instilled his work ethic in me and my brother, where I worked 70-80 hour weeks 7 days a week in the summers thru high school and college, and then worked and went to school as well. Those long days evolved into my adult life...I have never been out of work in my career. Yeah, I have a clue- He taught me a lot, and most likely will not forget.
Enjoy the pictures-take it in-enjoy-
