I can see Dad Golden hasn't change...Dear Terry,<br />I can see Dad Golden hasn't changed a bit. The smile and those beautiful eyes are his trademark.<br />I'm learning a lot about "old" Canada in general and your family in particular by reading this blog.<br />You've got such a rich picture material to illustrate the histories with.<br />I like them all, the farm must have been a great place. I have a fascination for farms, my mother was a "farmer girl" as she puts it.<br />It's so basic; you cannot eat oil, cars or whatever we use a lifetime spending our money on.<br />A man's gotta eat and know how to provide food and clothing. <br />The rest is vanity and chase after wind.<br />We are exporting our junk to Sweden, our junk yards are all filled up.<br />"I consume, therefore I am consumed," Gunnar says, and he should know, with his love for data, music instruments and cars......<br />It was a nice and unselfish gesture of Dad Golden to help out providing for his large family. Then again I know from my Mom and dad they had to do the same. No social security back then. <br />It was expected that the young ones helped their family. Family ties were strong, and I find that valuable. Then there would always be a sly uncle eating all the pork chops.<br />He was the one who should have had the spanking. Things were neither fair nor easy for children. I dislike spanking more than anything, it's against all what I call fair. Strong adults hurting their own offspring.<br />We were taught never to fight against kids younger and weaker than ourselves. Which ended up in me fighting with an older boy at school. Just as I was on top of him, ready to give him the final punch, we were separated by a teacher. <br />We ended up becoming friends, though I think his "male" pride was hurt for a while.<br />Now, give Mom and Dad Golden my best, and thanks for letting me in to this interesting story about a man I've grown to love more and more and more. And more.<br /><br />From felisolFelisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.com
