The American Dream

Somehow, he never expected life to be so hard.  He really wanted to get the family out of the city and into the fresh country air, but he just couldn’t afford it.  Making a living is so darned tough these days. What’s a guy to do?

Then a friend told him about the deconstruction industry.

When Chef Jeff was a wee lad, his mother pronounced him to be a "one man destruction team". Funny how he ended up in engineering...

Smashing 55! My Uncle once said to me "Just because there is a bend in the road doesn't mean it's the end of the road, it just means you need to alter your course" Loved your 55!
Cheers from Katherine ( Katherine's Place - Pieces of Me) ... I don't know why but I wasn't able to post unless I did it anonymously...this has happened on a few other blogs I've visited in the last couple of days. Have a great weekend Patti!
