Be Thankful This Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for. Our freedom, our family and our friends are a good start. As we go into this holiday season we need to slow down and take the time to enjoy what we have. As we prepare to go into the frenzy of the holiday shopping and parties remember that we shouldn’t take any moment for granted.

If you are like I am, the holiday shopping wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the crowded stores and the lack of parking. The hustle and bustle is to some one of their favorite parts of Christmas. I on the other hand could do without that part of it. This time of year, or any time of year for that matter if you need a part for your chainsaw, or your snow blower, or your generator, why not avoid getting out at all. Use our handy online ordering and have the part shipped to your door. Let your mail carrier get out in the weather and you can order your part and sit back and wait for it to be delivered. Just one more thing to be thankful for.

My wish for all is a wonderful Thanksgiving, followed by a Merry Christmas and/or Great Holiday, and of course a Very Happy New Year.

Children & Toy Tractors

Every little boy loves toy tractors. My 4 year old son has all kinds of little tractors he plays with indoors and out. He also has a big plastic Kubota pedal tractor that he plays with all summer long. Those little tractors can sometimes be a pain when you step on them in the middle of the night. It makes me mad at the moment but when I get to see my little boy playing and having so much fun with them the next day the pain I had the night before quickly goes away. Every little boy and girl should have some tractors to play with. Many kids, especially in the Midwest have family members that are farmers or at least are able to regularly spot a tractor in the fields near their home.

Encourage your possible future farmer by allowing his or her imagination to run wild with a variety of farm toys and tractors. Our farmers are important to our country and teaching our kids this by encouraging them to play with toy tractors and to learn about farming is a good thing.
