Shoveling,--the-- MINNESOTA-- snow
as a kid I remember my --Henry--my --DAD, --he would be the first person,in the neighborhood, out the door to shovel the drive way, and side walk--so


My dad he never did hesitate
when anything had to be done and accomplished, not another --breath--or--minute --would ---MY--DAD---hold--back--with--anything--and--wait


When clothes had to be washed,--DAD--was--up--way-before--the--sun--in--the-- early early morn
dad had washed everything, and all clothes were hung outside on the clothes lines waiting for the sun to come up and dry with WARM


Dad, was an early riser
he grew up on the family --Dairy-farm,--in---Rollingstone -Minnesota--and at age twelve became a farmer and worked hard every day all his life--for--Sure


My dad the Minnesota--TORNADO
if he got upset, ruffled, or wronged, anyone in any place he put --right where they -- belonged, and--the--TORNADO--would--let--GO


My dad he was just such of a--LOVING--Happy-go--lucky---Simple-Hard-Working---generous--Great--GENTLEMAN
but everyone knew big-HANK--was-strong-as-a-tank, and he stood about--five foot--two, --and-- had eyes of pure blue----THAT--TURNED--FIRE--RED--when---HE--got --MAD, -and--I felt sorry,for every other.--WHO-WRONGED-and--UPSET--my--DAD---Because, --HE --would knock them down --like-a--MINNESOTA--TORNADO--, no matter how --TALL-- they did--S-T-A-N-D


When the, winter snow was done falling
my dad would be the first, one outside shoveling the drive way, and walk ways of even the next  door neighbors--in--anything--and--everything--my--DAD--, my-Henry,--HE----would never hold back,or be--stalling
