I have always said I was born into my right era. I learned as a kid that life had its hardships; the outhouse the bike getting stuck in the mud of the dirt rode when I rode it to school, wearing hand me down clothes, sitting close to the kitchen range to get warm when it was really cold, sheep being moved to a scrub spot of mallei trees to keep warm, and cows close to the sheds. As I got older more and more luxuries have become every day events.
