THE WOOD PILE


A few weeks back my husband and his dad and uncles went to help out my husbands grandfather by collecting hauling and chopping wood you need to see how much wood they collected in less than 24 hours in the middle of the Nevada dessert WOW

click on photos my husband is wearing the sunglasses, my father in law the normal glasses the rest are Uncles in law.

Our grandfather is dieing his body dosen't produce blood any moore so he has to get infussions all the time, also has cancer. So he has no energy to do this for himself and at 93 should not have to either. Plus he gets so cold do to the loss of blood that they had to get enough wood in 24 hours to last all winter. He keeps his house around 90 as it feels like 65 to 70 to him even at that temp. Very sad as he is a great man a Minning enginer he pretty much built about 1/2 the town they live in one way or another.

What a great way to show love and respect to another. Your husband and family should be very proud of themselves. I am sorry to hear about your Grandfather though. What an awful thing to happen to such a person.

Take care.

What a great legacy this man will leave.

I am amazed at how much wood they cut. It is nice to see a family pulling together.
