Time we posted pics of ourselves and families

[freewheat]

I am the one that is standing on his BACK legs. Enjoying the fruits of that which I pretend to do best, hunt. Drawn for elk this fall. A mile to the background of the pic is where my hay land is, and the elk are in it HARD. Will find a family pic as well. I relent, Breadwinner, I relent. When I am challenged to man up, by someone as distinguished as yourself, I relent. HA!

[freewheat]

Me and my sweetheart. With a few of our sheep. IF it were not for her, I would be an awful wreck.

[BreadWinner]

Looks good fellow farmers!!! Be proud of who you are!!!!

[freewheat]

And.... The kids. Dang I love them.

I'm on a roll. This is so FREEing. lol But I should stop. There is a bunch of attractive women folk outside my living room window taking pictures of me and chanting. That didn't take long. I told you I feared stalking. One looks like Mrs. Breadwinner. Check your house, Mr. Breadwinner... Something about men and dead and often live animals. Always draws in the lady folk. Even at this hour.

Freewheat, I'd say that in spite of the nasty curves that mother nature keeps throwing at you, it appears that you have a whole lot to be very grateful for. Great looking family. Always interesting to put a face to a name.

ok were am I up to??
So far Karen Darryl john carol Peter (me).
So as I mentioned we are all sworn to secrecy not to tell irmas son joe about the rest of us.

My sister carol who one night after a few beers and wine and decides to ring joe and spill the beans and fills joe in with some minor details enough so he knows shes genuine and tells him about herself. Read that carefully.

So my phone goes of in middle of night sister saying what have I done ive betrayed Irma and then john rings next morning saying carols like a little puppy whos peed in the corner knows shes done bad, didn't quite know what to do supposedly being the sane one in all this lol.

Thought to ring Irma but thought nah it may be to distressing etc just lie doggo and hopes it goes away...

Now heres the funny bit or was to me, joe rings Irma a few days later and says mum ive gotta come around in a very solemn voice, Irma knew something was up, he arrives and I quote as best I can joe
"mum carol has told me everything" bear in mind guys and gals joe knows only of carol, Irma "what do you mean joseph" joe "carol told me about everything" and irmas says "everything" joe says "yes mum" and Irma says "you mean everything darrly Karen peter john and carol" joes says "wtf theres only carol" irmas response "ah joseph think wed better sit down"

Anyway joe was automatically over the moon and we just get on really well except Darryl he cannot accept things and is a old age bikie with permanent chip on his shoulder.

Remember joe at my first birthday together at rip old age of 49 and he gives me a bottle of wine is said stuff you joe you owe 40 yrs worth buddy.
His only anger if you call it that was why we didn't do it sooner.

The above photo of joe and john Karen and carol and I was at irmas funeral 2 years ago. I was a pall bearer and gave a reading as did my mum that's how close Irma and her became.

Now the funeral itself was going to be private but was big in Multiple Sclerosis society which was cause of her disability and she had many friends so we talked joe into a public funeral was way larger than we expected. You guys know how dogs put there heads on the side when they don't quite understand something well that's what a lot of funeral attendees looked liked and Karen in picture was a dead ringer for mum and we all had her eyes and joe got asked by a few whats going on here joe they kinda joined the dots but could nt figure why.

[malleefarmer]

Joseph gave a wonderful cryptic eulogy at the funeral as well.

Below is what he had worked into it which really confused people except for those in the know about about 20% of people there but her secret stayed with her.

Himitsu-Bako (Personal Secret Box) History
The trick box. The secret box. The magic box, mystery box, personal box, puzzle box... No matter how you identify these traditional Japanese wonders, they are among the most intriguing and beautiful wooden art in the world.
On the surface, the Personal Secret Box is entirely enclosed. It's just a pretty box. There is no apparent lock and seemingly no opening whatsoever. However, as one begins to investigate closely, interesting secrets begin to reveal themselves! If you look very carefully, you will see that it's surface includes several movable pieces. You can slide this piece here, move that one there, push another on the opposite side, and so on. Alas, unless a precise step by step trick opening sequence is followed, the box remains impossible to open. Every trick box has it's own unique series of steps that must be followed.

Last bit of the story sorry for hogging forum and theres actually lots more but I don't want to get booted, all I know is my father is Hungarian and his name is "beelah" not even sure of spelling I never got around to quizzing her but was about to do it but alas she passed on.

So figure hes passed on , but will start with electoral role and look sort of nine months before I was born or maybe back a bit further and perhaps Hungarian club or the likes I have no last name to go on.

I could have another lot of siblings hiding away waiting to be discovered.

My youngest had to do a family tree at school once, my wifes mother and father Austrian/Russian swiss separated and both since remarried, so he has to grandmas and two grandpas on that side then my mum who lives 16kms away is nanna and then there was Irma and myriad of uncles and aunties. He said to the teacher my family tree is a bit complicated more like a family forest.........

plenty more but that it but will add irmas drivers liscense got taken away due to ms complications before she became wheel chair bound one of her last acts whilst driving on her last day was to do a dirty great burn out at some stop lights and gave some hoons the finger and sped off in her black Nissan skyline I kid you not I wasn't there but that the story.... and I wonder were I got my devilish habits from.....

[malleefarmer]

Fascinating story mallee. Sounds like things worked out well for your family. That's great!

[BreadWinner]

Wow Mallee, you have quite the interesting family. Im sure glad you have so many loving siblings. Albertafarmer and freewheet you have some good looking families. Kind of makes all the crappy weather pale in comparison to what is really important in our lives. Keep those kids safe at harvest!!!
