I spent 25 years living out on a farm and commuting to Houston. Life on the farm was GREAT!!! I raised cattle, horses, kids, peanuts and corn. Now close to retirement I moved back to Cypress, built a new home and started with payments all over again. I think that I got it backwards. Does anyone know of a deal on some country property?

School Story:

I should have stayed in college when I first graduated from HS. The attraction of having a paying job other than at a grocery store was too tempting. I finally finished college but only some 20 years later and the degree is in Theology. Who would have guessed? Try to market that degree.

What did you want to do or think you were going to do when you finished high school?

I wanted to go to medical school. Found out how hard that would be and decided to get a job.

What and where was your 1st job? Do you remember how much you were paid?

Alabama theater at age 15. My uncle was the manager. $1.25 hr. My lunch at the bar b que place across the street cost more than I made in one day. But, they furnished me with a tuxedo. We would slide down the stair railing when my uncle wasn't watching.
