If you can`t affort horses

If you can`t affort horses it was use to do it by human.
My wife`s grandmother told me often she has to do it for earn a living. (she past away at the age of 99 )

Is this where the word "man power" came into effect? thanks for the link-
it took a lot of man power to pull that boat. your picture tells a true story..

[bruni]

I'm sorry I missed the other two pictures. Oct. 22 and Oct. 23. you see I look at my followers pictures when I receive a comment on my pictures ..so it's easy to miss one or two. I like both those pictures and will get back to them.

Another lovely shot and thank you for the interesting link.

[Fisher Family]

It looks like very hard work. The link was really useful. Why does everyone say the secret of long life is hard work? Katharine

[Gayanne Campbell]

This is fabulous! It does look to be hard work, just glad it's not something I would have to do.

This is so fabulous and interesting to see. You had to earn a living and it made your wive's grandmother a lot stronger. Cannot imagine it but she lived it sounds a great life but possibly a hard one. Amazing. FAV
