Farmer Copple

My husband refers to the farm and his Pap(grandpa) often in his sermons. The Copple family farm has a historical marker on it....they homesteaded the land over 150 years ago. He still gets farmer magazines here in the modern Orange County with no farm land in sight. lol I thought this was a cute picture of the family. Tom is on the horse with cousin Dan and Cindy holding a black cat. Notice Grandpa Copple in his work clothes--they are all very hard workers. lol Work, work, work is the motto and the family get together activity. If you visit them...you must work for them.lol That was the usual plan of action for any family time...find some work to do together. The Starr family time is sitting around a meal mom has made and talking and laughing for hours. Having coffee time and talking some more. We let the work go by the way side when we have the family together. That is very slothful to a Copple. lol Tom and I are a long way from the midwest...from the Simple life to the opposite way of life. But, we love it! :-)
