My Mom just turned 92 on November 8th! One of my fondest memories of my mother was the time that daddy got the tractor stuck in the nuanetsi river. The brown muddy water was rolling up around the chassis. These situations always made my mom terribly nervous, but she only had two choices, to be the tow-er or the tow-ee. The bank of the river was steep and slippery for the Land Rover, the tow-er. So she opted to get on the tractor and be the tow-ee. I will never forget in my mind‘s eye the picture of my mom crawling down the nose of that old tractor in her dress, so as not to get in the rushing muddy water of the river. Whenever my dad got her into situations like this, she would refer to him as “Daniel“ instead of just “Dan.” Her stock phrase was “Daniel, I’m getting too old for this!“ Well, today my mom is 92 years old! She survived that and many other adventures! At 92, you’re still not too old Mom!
