My Life Is Disappearing

[oneshot]

My Sister sent me this picture and I sure hope it isn’t what I think it is.

I think it is the old School House in Cooper County that I helped as a kid convert it over to a house for our Grandparents.

Spent many good times there went through with my first wife and was there with my present.

Killed my first Deer close to there.

Remember Grandma after Grandpa died, setting there in a empty house refusing to leave.

Sis confirm that it is our Grandparents old place.

The only constant in life is change, good or bad change will always be with us.

I told Sis I remember when all Cars and Phones were Black.

I was telling Sis I remember when they lived in town Paperboy would fold the Paper in a little square.

They would fog the streets in the evening for Mosquitoes.

Just everywhere I remember when I was younger is gone. Even the School.

But...you didn’t have internet when you were a kid...not that it makes life better but to panfishers point...change is inevitable 

just be glad you’ve lived long enough to see it

Heck didn’t have Electric or Running Water until 2000 something. Had a Computer Built in Springfield for $1,500. All kinds of stuff now.

Funny got a phone and was on Party Line and like I said 2000 something.

Remember taking my Ex there for Christmas Dinner. Grandma had fixed up Coon and Possum. She looked made a face. I said what’s matter you like eating them? Well yes but never had them grinning back at me. Custom was to leave the Heads on. LOL

I can remember the time when you did not have electric or running water and was posting on here.  Those were the days.

Nuclear fission kept the laptop running....

My fathers old farm house was the same way. Many a time when I was a kid, we would drive by and pull over. My dad would just stare. Heartbreaking.

It reminds me of the song Coal Miners daughter. 
“Not much left but the floor, nothing lives here anymore, but the memory of a coal miners daughter”

hang in there buddy!
