Tim's new toy

Tim has been wanting a tractor for a long time. He finally has one. It is a Allis Chambers. Our neighbor down the road died in July. We were blessed to be able to take him some food almost every day and spend a little bit of time with him. If you would have known our neighbor, you would have found out that he was a difficult man to get to know. He was very reserved and wouldn't allow people to come on his property much. A few years ago Tim was able to get to know him and be able to talk with him off and on. He would still not allow me or the kids to come without Tim. Towards the end of his life he allowed me and the kids to come into his home and bring him food and talk with him. This was a huge change and I enjoyed being able to talk with him and spend a bit of time hopefully making his life for the better for him. We hope and pray that something that was said to him made him think of his eternal state and make things right with God, but we don't have much hope of him making it to heaven. Only God knows that for sure.

Anyways, before his death Tim was able to get to know his brother. He wanted us to have one of the tractors. So Tim was able to purchase this one and he is very happy to have it. He has some work to do on it, but hopefully it will help us get a nice garden in next year.
