The Good Old Days?
By Mark Flippo
This is a cook named Sam Whittaker preparing something on a chuck wagon at the LS Ranch near Tascosa, 1907. At this point in time the LS ranch covered 221,000 acres.
I used to hear my grandparents and then my parents talk about the good old days. I would ask myself you mean like when we had no electricity and no indoor toilet? No thanks! I grew up when our farm did not have a lot of luxuries. No indoor toilet in the winter time. Everything froze. Outhouses are so nasty. You have to fight in the warmer months with bees and vermin just to do what you have to. We had a fireplace when it was needed in the living room.
Of course I really freaked out when I caught myself thinking about the good old days. I guess whenever the time was when you were a kid you tend to remember more about the good things than the bad! You haven't forgotten the bad but maybe it's best that we focus on the good most of all. Maybe that is the way that God helps us cope with our past?
