Do you see that farm in the background?

Well there is a story behind the guy who lives there.

That guy lives on the same road as Jesse, Haylee, and Levi.  You see, today we went to Haylee’s Graduation Party.   Yep.   I can’t believe it actually.  It seems like just yesterday she was running around here in diapers, eating Gerber’s Blueberry Buckle, and being uncommonly brilliant for her very young age.

Where does the time go?  She is all grown up now.  Heading off to college in the fall.  And she is STILL uncommonly brilliant.   Among other things.  I think she may even still eat Blueberry Buckle.  But nonetheless.  It was a great party in honor of her graduation from high school.  Very fine indeed.

But I’m off topic.  The farm in the photo.  The guy down the road.

He used to have a big boat that he would park there…  out behind the back barn.  We are talking about a pretty darn big boat.  Then he would disappear with it, for months on end.

As we came to find out… he was bit of a robber on the high seas.  South of Greece… in the Mediterranean Sea.  Yep.  A pirate.

Can you believe a pirate lives next door to them?  Well.  Not any more, really.  These days, he grows corn.  And…. he sells it for a buck an ear.
