The 15th.....was the first day that mom and dad had at the farm. Breakfast was over and it was time to load the red truck. Now, the red truck was Didier's, but it was kept at his mom and dad's which had a bigger space to house it, and it was easier to work on there. The reason I mention that is because it always had to be worked on for one reason or another. Unless you had a new car, that was pretty much the case for most of the vehicles around there. Anyhow, Rubernay was going to drive the truck up to the farm, and Don Dimitrio would go with so that he would have someone to drive back with. It was an hour's trip to the farm, unless you made a stop or two along the way. You might make a stop to pick up some grain, or go to the bathroom, or put out a fire under Daddy. Oh? You think there might be a story there?? Well, you'd be right.
Rubernay came to the house mid morning, and all was loaded into the back....mattress, suitcases for four people, bags of grain for the horses, food for the chickens, supplies that were purchased the day before in Tulua, Don Dimitrio, Alberto, Charlie, and Sarita. Mommy had to have some help getting up, but Uncle Al was happy to do the job. Daddy got to sit in the front with Rubernay because his legs were long and there was too much stuff in the back for him to be able to fit. And they were off.
