We were driving in the car and my grandparents just started talking about the trees and it was really cute. As we passed a pine tree with sprawling droopy branches and limp needles that hung down, my grandma said "look at that little old sad tree. He looks like he's taken just about all that life can throw" my grandpa chimed in "I wonder if when trees fall, they're just giving up on life." We drove by a dead, gray tree with branches that looked like bicycle spokes and my grandpa said "that's a spooky tree. The munsters would have a picnic under there." We passed a big leaning tree and my grandpa said "he's right on the verge he should be cut down it would be easier on him." Honestly I've never had more fun listening to a conversation. It was so wholesome yet moderately existential and they tend to bicker a lot but they just put aside their differences to talk about these ancient plants.

I'm a day late, but happy birthday to the best Pappaw ever!! We sure miss ya down here. I still smile and look for you every time I hear "I just can't wait to be king!" 🦁 Glad you got to spend your bday with the King himself & Mammaw drivin' your favorite green John Deer up in the sky! Love you! 🗓18/365 #Pappaw #latergram #throwbacktomysweet16

We laid my #Pappaw to rest today with #militaryhonors #rip🙏 #thompsonfamily (at Crown Hill Funeral Home & Cemetery)

Did you choose to prep or were you raised as what you consider to be a prepper. Growing up, I was raised doing exactly what I do now, but it wasn't called prepping then, it was simply called everyday survival. Thanks to the people who taught me....my grandparents, the original preppers.
