He had a bittersweet growing operation, and also bought from pickers in AR. and MO.
Sold it thru mail order and craft fairs etc. in the Ozarks, War Eagle was one I remember.
Kept a place in NE. as well and went back and forth a lot. His place was a mile past the cemetery, pretty far out on the peninsula. Not much road maintainance out there!
Sold the place around 1980, got to be too much work as they were getting older.
My Dad said they made money on the place, but they put a lot of work into it. Built a cabin, then a house, a barn, cleared a lot of timber to make pastures. The place looked like a vineyard, but instead of grapes he grew bittersweet in rows. They had some great friends down there too, lots of colorful characters! My time spent there made me love your part of the country.

A good friend of mine, a native of the Omaha area, is mayor here. At one time there was a company named Mass Merchandisers, headquartered here, that had a warehouse in Omaha. He worked for them and transferred here.

I am about 15 miles west of Omaha. I looked up your mayor, I don't recognize him but he is about my age!
When my friends and I were heading to Jasper for some canoeing years ago, we stopped in Harrison, we named it the town of beautiful women!
Everywhere we stopped we observed the local finery! Fast food, fuel station, the Walmart! Probably a coincidence, but the name stuck!

Mayor Jerry has been here since the Early eighties.

LOL, When I was in boot camp at Ft. Leonard Wood, my wife came to visit. Later some of the guys from Oklahoma asked me if all the women here were that good looking.

There are a lot of good lookin' women here, but damn they are mean.

And if you want her to know you said that you will tell her yourself, right?

Understood! There are mean ones up north too!
A young lady I work with says her mother is mean as a badger! I met her once and told my friend, Your Mom doesn't look like a badger!

I am very fortunate. I have a good woman. She's frugal, a great cook and housekeeper and she never complains about my old car addiction.

She can read my mind, and that bothers me a little.

Happy Birthday Larry!

Like a blister, I show up after it's all over.

If she can read your mind, then she lets you do what she wants, and that is ok! It's all about getting along!
I've been doing it for 37 years.

49 years is impressive. Congratulations. I'm going on 10 years myself. But this isn't my first rodeo by a long shot. Well. If at first you don't succeed Try, try again.... As all the furniture goes out the door.

I should have known.
