Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Not a proud moment, but at six or so I swapped my little sister 5 shiny pennies for one little dime. Mom gave me hell as I tried to explain that sis was really happy with the trade. sigh. Around thirteen the folks borrowed $130 from me when we all went to a multi-day Hudspeth Land & Livestock auction so they could buy the start of a registered Hereford herd. Think they gave me 1/2 a $200 go-kart and a new Guernsey/Hereford cross calf later in return.
Can recall my Dad pawning his firearms before Christmas - never made the connection in my brain. Always felt secure - if Dad quit a job it was cause for celebration - he was a great machinist so often he was working several jobs at once - 24 hours in a day after all. Three kids and trying to build a ranch from zero couldn't have been easy though - recall taking calls from gents with Household Finance looking for loan repayment.
