Meet Chuck

When J. and I were still doing youth ministry, we made a point to see the shows that the youth in our program were in. One of these was the local high school's annual student written, led, and directed production. One of the songs in the show was about Chuck the Tractor. 

"Oh the life of Chuck the Tractor was a long, hard one.

He plowed the fields of farmers in the hot, hot sun.

But when the day was through, he would sit inside his tractor shack and think of all the things he'd do if he were not a tractor. ... "

I wish I could share the tune because it is very catchy. So catchy that over thirty years later, J. and I can still sing it.

This is why, when a friend offered us her tractor that she no longer needed, it had to be named Chuck. Chuck arrived this past Saturday while I was at the horse fair.

L. has already learned to drive it. J. is very excited to have it and it has already proven itself useful. J. would like to get some attachments for it which will make it even more useful. We are very thankful to have Chuck join the family.
