I was at our church serving the SOUP supper tonight when a man I'd never met before walked up to me and asked if I was Edson's granddaughter. I thought about it for a second as my Grandpa has been gone for almost 15 years, before I said yes, yes I am.
He went on to tell me that he had worked for my grandpa when he was about 14 years old. He said he was hired to do farm work many many years ago. He talked about how my Grandpa always had a story for everything, and that is so true.
He told me my Grandpa once told him that marriage was like bath, once you're in it for awhile it's not so hot.
We chucked and I listened to him talk about the farm work and the people who worked on the farm for a bit.
Later I found out he is actually now married to my Dad's cousin. They were married last year and coincidentally he and my dad share the same first name too!
