My dream for Kenny Ray

"make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody."

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

Keeping a journal for future generations

I have kept a journal off and on for over 20 years. I have written down hunting and fishing trips,

and about what I have done to my land and events in my life as well as my dreams. They have included such things as weather conditions , number of fish or animals harvested ,as well as which tomato did best, to which type of feed the chickens did better on. I love to sit by the fire with a cup of coffee and read thru them. I am thankful for my blessings that I have been given.

In my journal i also draw sketches of where trees were planted and even vegetables for rotation.Here is an entry
Saturday March 9 2002
Mom and David, Dan, Kenny Ray and I went down to cabin today and planted some white pine seedlings that I ordered from the state. We got 83 planted of the 150 planted. It was 50 degrees and pouring of rain. Still have not got roof on cabin yet. Received word from Midwest Outdoors
today , my article:"Kenny Ray's day" will be in the April issue.
I wished my grandparents had kept a journal I would have loved to read it. I can only think what my journal and now my blog writings might mean to my future generations
