    Chapter 17

    The next morning Tom gave me a drawing and a bill of materials for the shed. “We need to see what kind of furnace we can buy. From that, we’ll know what size shed will need,” Tom left. That evening, Tom had photos of several types of propane furnaces. “Brad and I think this size would be big enough. You won’t need to keep the barn as warm as a house. You just need to keep the chill out. The horse blankets will provide the additional warmth the horses need. You will need a bigger feed box wi

    Today yes, but in the time frame of this story, it wasn't a consideration.

    I'm sure there must have been a remark made about needing horses when they were looking at the carriage. They took a chance when they brought the horses, Tony might have said no

    I always find It interesting that a family consisted of more than blood relatives. People can bond together as a family regardless of their background.

    Chapter 15

    After I wrote that chapter I thought about an English breakfast. But I didn't have a source of black pudding. I also thought of scramble eggs with tomatoes, they would have ol be canned tomatoes or tomatoes out of their skin. Tony said too much trouble.

    Yes, you are right. But if you wait about 6-8 weeks, you'll know. Those people who can tell the sex off a peep are unusual and I imagine they. do get paid well.. The worse thing that could happen is that you buy a box of peeps nd find out you got a box of roosters.

    Yes, he said bars. I don't think Tony is hurting for money./ He estimated the value about a million.

    The boys went home for Thanksgiving. I told them no more peeps. When they returned, Charlie was with them, but they also had a trailer. When I looked, they had two black horses. “Tony, we were talking about the house and building the barn. My dad wanted to know why you needed a barn. With Charlie telling them about the cars and carriage, I told Dad about getting horses to pull it and you wanting black horses. He called someone, and the next thing I knew, this truck came with that trailer and tho

    Ugh, I'm glad I wasn't living then. I have seen photos of dogs with their army. I haven't seen any dogs in a domesticated environment. Interesting facts

    Thanks for the information. I think the Romans had some interesting bed warmers. The use of 'dogs' in those days was very creative

    Chapter 15

    Do you know or have any friends from Italy, or of Italian descent? Most of the Italians who immigrated to the US,. brought with them to knowledge of how to make wine, sausage and salami. Pasta, anyone can make, give it a try. Just remember it dries fast, so follow Tony's way.

    I don't think Tony felt anything about Charlie helping his dad. Charlie got the Chevy running, that was most important for Tony.

    Think, Pa number one arrived in the 1800's, five generations to Tony, assume they lived until 65, do the math. Tony has a doctorate in history which would put him at 26-27 years old.

    It was Pa's car and I'm guessing it was one of the earlier models. For Tony, it was all about his rides with Pa

    Yes, I remember driving my first car, dad sat in the back. Fond memories of the past. It seems I'm not the only one

    Those Banty rooster remind me of a little kid on the block who stood up to kids much bigger and older than him. Thinking about what you wrote,. we should have nick named him 'Banty". For their size, they are brave little fellows, but what a fighting streak
