Sometimes I want to shout "Back in the day!"

My Grandfather homesteaded on the prairie of central Montana in 1912.

He and my Grandmother married in 1916.

The closest water is 2-1/2 miles to the west.

In 1948, after their children returned home from WWII, they got electricity.

I was a democrat before I was born.

Hooray for FDR and the REA!
