Daddy would hold his hand up when we’d plow in sight of Bug Tussle on Elmer’s Sixty, and I knew it was the signal to stop the 1953 Ford Jubilee I was operating.
We’d take our water jug and go sit on the foundation of Elmer and Cora’s house, and across the prairie my Mama would see us and bye and bye she’d bring the afternoon snack.
I knew that Elmer’s Sixty cost $300 in 1876 when my Great Grandfather and mother bought it, and when he died in 1920 that Elmer and Cora paid $4,000 to the four brothers and sisters.
I’d heard about the sale Elmer had in 1936 when that sixty Daddy paid $900 for in 1944 had struck off sold for $225.
Elmer and Cora moved to Bakersfield California where they worked like slaves in the fields of the other man, and never saw Bug Tussle again.
