AROUND THE LATE 30'S.<br />WE HAD FOUR PAIR OF MULES. THERE WAS A PAIR EACH FOR THE HIRED HAND, DAD, RANDOLPH AND ONE FOR ME. (THIS WAS BEFORE WE HAD A TRACTOR).<br />MY PAIR WAS NAMED PAT AND MOLLY. RANDOLOPH WAS TOM AND MAGGIE-DAD HAD GEORGE AND SUE-HIRED-HAND HAD SAM AND MABEL.<br />ANY PICTURE OF A MULE BRINGS BACK MEMORIES--SOME OF THE MEMORIES NOT TOO GOOD.<br />YOUR MULE,CHESTER APPEARS TO BE PRETTY YOUNG.<br />KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. MOTHER AND I ENJOY READING YOUR BLOG.<br />WE LOVE YOU<br />DAD AND MOM<br />An aside, my dad told me one of his first jobs was a mule driven grass cutter used along the highways and medians.<br />He suppied the mule and cutter, they paid him for it.

Hubster is going to make me those backing frames. Ya, it would be cool - lifesized...gotta get more paint for that one and a bigger claybord. ha! I enjoyed his 'stinkership' with the chicken in the pasture the other day...he makes me laugh!Pattie Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133673088793154979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063405475820230121.post-12651143944700703682011-03-26T11:51:51.912-06:002011-03-26T11:51:51.912-06:00Awww, hi Chet! ♥

He IS a special guy. Quite a character! Wish I lived close to an art supplier, cause I need some more of this stuff pronto!! (black claybord, which is really supposed to be scratchboard - that's what I get when I buy sample packs) Oh well, just have to wait for slow delivery service I guess. I have used up every last piece of it.Pattie Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133673088793154979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063405475820230121.post-15290440838223589822011-03-25T13:52:12.147-06:002011-03-25T13:52:12.147-06:00I was surprised to read this is 5x7 - it has a ver...I was surprised to read this is 5x7 - it has a very large presence to me, like almost life size! I don't know if this was intentional or not, but I love the way the background colors and brushstrokes appear to be radiating from Chester; it makes him appear to be a very special fella, which I'm sure he is.Angela Elledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205506808110111084noreply@blogger.com
