You know, yesterday was Mother’s Day and what a good time we all had. We were all there except for my sister and her family as they live in North Carolina. But besides them, we were all there, and we got to see all the grandkids.
We hope each and every one of you experienced exactly the same.
One thing I did notice was my Dad was really beginning to age. Little as you think though, he’ll be 77 this July. Where does the time go?
We were watching the grandkids play and I told my Mom, that it wasn’t that long ago that was it us out there playing like that! She just shook her head and said, isn’t that the truth!
In my last article I was talking about the tremendous effect agriculture still plays in regards to our economy here in Florida today. I also stated that I’d start doing some articles on agriculture and its role, and even discussing the old days of Florida and its early history in regards to the cattle and citrus industries.
Rexx commented that I couldn’t talk about the ole Cracker cows, and Cracker horses, without talking about the ole Florida Cracker as well, and he is spot on in his assessment of this! I promise you this Rexx, we surely won’t, but I didn’t forget to mention them, I just run outta breath!! LOL!
By the way, I read your essay, “Growing Old,” and honestly your story helped encourage this one today! Thanks my friend. Shoot, give us a holler, I’d enjoy speakin with you!
Today I’d like to use my Dad and his story as hopefully and inspiration to one of you guys, or possibly for you to share it with a young person to show them the opportunity our great Country provides. You only have to set some goals for your life, and don’t ever accept the word NO as an alternative!

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
