going eastbound on Rte. 24 between Gilman and Crescent City

Watseka

I saw a horse-drawn wagon going east towards Crescent on Easter Sunday after coming back from lunch at K&H in Gilman. I was going to stop and see if you needed a place to overnight your horses but someone was right behind me so I couldn't stop. I see you are doing this with natural hoofs - no shodding. I didn't know horses could go that distance on pavement without shodding.

I have done some models of horse-drawn German beer wagons for my model railroad. Draft horses, get it? ;-)

My friend.

My friend saw him at Culver's in Roscoe, IL.

I thought this was a very cool idea on Lee's part, and a good one to make this website!!!

Heading east

Sheldon, Illinois

My friend Patty wasn't quite sure what she was seeing on the highway so she came by the house and got me and away we went to see just what was going by Sheldon. WHAT A GIFT TO GET TO SEE LEE AND TO BRIEFLY TALK WITH HIM!! His team brought back very warm memories of my young life in the late 40' and 50's--of my dad, uncle, and Grandma farming with Maude and Nig (our big horses)north of Sheldon, of pumping water from the well outside the house, burning wood to keep warm, raising a big garden and canning to live through the winter, having a kerosene refrigerator, dad putting a Briggs & Stratton motor on a washing machine so Mom didn't have to use the washboard anymore, of taking a bath in a tub in front of the cook stove with Lifeboy soap (then in the summer sitting outside in the porch swing before time to go to bed.) Of the old crank telephone on the party line--our number was 16F31 (three longs and one short) Of walking across town to school and not worrying about somebody assaulting or murdering us. We were poor - but as kids we didn't know it 'cause we were sooo rich - with family and friends, with playing in the sand box, jumping rope, riding bicycles, playing marbles. As an adult, I have had the privilege of being an nurse. Now, my husband and I are whitling down our bills AGAIN so we can live life again. Several times over the past 33 years we have lived life then get caught up in the whole work from paycheck to paycheck thing!

LEE, KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON!!! We will be soon!

The Pantagraph on Monday

2 times on route 24 east of Gilman enroute to and from Easter dinners.

Gilman, Illinois

Lee you are trully an amazing man. I admire your strength and determination. I learned to live each day as if it were your last from my mother who passed away 6 years ago from cancer. Then I read your story and it "drives" that point home even more. May God bless you and your team. Take care with the "Power of Prayer"!! :)
