My Grandpa's name was Ralph, Ralph Strohbehn. He was a farmer in central Iowa. He raised corn, beans and cattle. I loved listening to Ralph. I have a great appreciation for the elderly and I can tell you do too. There's nothing better than listening to old time stories. I miss my Grandparents a lot. I'm 56 and I'm a Grandma 8×'s now, so I have an even greater appreciation for what my Grandparents did for us as kids. They always kept us for a couple weeks in the summer and of coarse the Holidays were huge, with all the cousins at Grandpa and Grandma's house. Everyone stayed yhe whole weekend and it was mighty busy. They had a huge two story stucco farm house and I loved sleeping on the sleeping porch in the big feather bed! Memories that I still hold dear today and my kids do too!

We watched ur channel off and on. We love it. The best part is when you were at Ralph's home and you were frying frog leg. I am so amazed at how good he gets around and the memory he remembers everytthing. One of the main reason I am writing. I am always the 1looking in the background all the pictures on the wall and i look up to seee this picture of an old house the backyard had a clothesline a couple trees it is a picture i have had on the wall in my living room..we have often wondered if who painted it and what was the home nothing fancy. It gives me the calnnest feeling .you will have to let me know where you got urs. We have one just like it. I am going to take a picture of it so you can see what I am talking about. I will take the picture later so i will send it as soon as i can. Youu are doing a wonderful thing people just don't care anymore especially when it comes to an older person they're afraid they might be asked to help in some way. It takes a a special person to do what u are doing. Hope to talk to you soon.
