Lifestyle - Living Adventure One Ounce At A Time
Lifestyle, what is that? The very specific description is "an individual's way of living".
There seemed to be a time in the not so much past that I had virtually no notion of what that meant. If someone had asked me outright what lifestyle suggested to me, I would have said something such as, "of the rich and famous"?
Being born as well as raised in a small, rural community my upbringing taught me how you can work hard.
The siblings of mine and I worked alongside our mom and grandma into the fields. We began working for grandma and grandpa in the vineyard of theirs and graduated up to the prune and peach orchards.
Those days were long, hard back-breaking work. In the autumn as well as winter we will reduce the root-stock mother plants and haul the 6 to 7 foot long vines into the garage of bundles. We would cut as well as bundle, grandpa, when he was home, would pack them similar to a mule on the back of his. Grandma was not as strong, therefore she used the small Cub Cadet tractor to pull them in. Cold and damp it was work we'd to undertake to obtain the product, root stock, to market. In the spring it was time to assist till the fields, site (why not check here) place the fumigation or plastic to eliminate the weeds before planting the new inventory. Summer months happened to be spent standing on our heads, pulling weeds as well as chucking rocks.
Generally there was never moment to dream of luxury vacations or even what we think about now as lifestyle. Most of the time we were thankful simply to get home for a warm bath, a big meal and bed.
Whenever the family took vacations it was usually all 5 of us children in the rear of the camper on dads pick up truck headed across country to check out relatives. Oh sure, we stopped alongside the freeway at the Stuckey's or perhaps tourist attractions occasionally.
One trip especially I can remember being so disappointed...I was maybe in 5th or 6th grade and we had been going to Yellowstone Park. Now, think like a kid for a minute, which food do you imagine I was expecting? You are right; I believed there would be swings, slides, a merry-go-round, things for the children to do! Guess mom didn't really explain what the park was in a lot of detail!
As an adult looking back I sure didn't like the effort it need to have used.
Certainly it took lots of cash to tote all of those kids a couple 1000 miles to find a geyser, a moose and a bear, also!
