A Little Essay by A.G. Hawley

My Grandchildern

The Hawley Family has grown:

I have 2 new grand children they were born on Dec. 5th 2010 and Dec. 6th 2010 to my son and daughter-in-law. There names are Fynlee Grace born first on Dec. 5th and Kru Jaxson was born Dec. 6th. I want to thank my daughter-in-law Jennifer she was a real trooper and was very courageous in the ordeal of having twins. I was very impressed. The babies are doing fine and my son Johnny has really taken on the role of father, and parenthood. I am impressed again.
But the biggest impression are these two little babies are so beautiful.

Boy folks am I proud grandfather or what... I just want to say that I really have 2 good reasons to keep on living A.G. Hawley

Breaking in the New Staff

October Auction by Robert Koehler

Retaining its poignant abundance,
behind the family home,
an ancient barn is listed as scrap.

An unharvested cornfield rustles
in the far back seats,
muttering its raspy disapproval.

Before the bidding can get started,
a rising wind carts away
that rust colored carpet of leaves.

Filled with the same impish wind,
prim church dresses
on the clothesline begin to tango.

Yellow jackets escalate the price
when hands are raised
in a vain bid to brush them away.

Common as frost, the auctioneer
wisely lets those geese
passing overhead go for a song.

Robert Koehler is a friend of mine. He is a medical librarian at Meriter Hospital, Madison, WI.. We talk sports, news, life and of course books. I overheard one of the head doctors describing Robert as a World class librarian. Not only is he that type of librarian but also an individual.
I'd better mention his assistant Sharon, she is world class too.

Little Discovery

I dedicate this story to my dad, H. Garth Hawley,
and my Uncle, Robert Hawley.

I have purchased a livestock truck. It is my limousine.

Do not get worried I did not pay much for it. I hope you will not think that A.G. has gone plain loco mad in his older years. But to my surprise, what happiness I discovered getting behind the wheel and driving my livestock truck.

I also discovered something that has haunted me all my life. Most of you know the story of how my dad died. We were in his livestock truck hauling cattle when he had a heart attack and died. At the time of his death I was 8 years old.

When I was with my Dad riding in his livestock truck I was so proud, so happy. I thought he and I owned the world. And then it was taken away so suddenly. I guess I did not comprehend all that happened to me up until now.

My uncle Robert Hawley had a livestock truck, and when I was about ten, my cousin Dave took me for rides in it. Those rides sure brought back memories. One time we drove all the way to Milwaukee from Argyle and took in a Milwaukee Braves game. I really want to thank Dave for doing that. I guess I was the youngest Hawley at the time and everyone looked out for me.

All these years I've had in the back of my mind that I would purchase a Livestock or a limousine. Recently one became available, and it seemed the time had come. I do not think I will actually haul cattle with it, but I tell my workers you never know. If you are ever in Wisconsin or near Mt. Horeb stop in and I'll give you a ride in My Livestock Truck. It has taken away past pains.

Thanks for reading my story and please reply sometime at your convenience.
