He saw it go in so he had to shove back the rod to put the machine out of gear. At the same time, the universal joints on the power-take-off grabbed his coat tail and immediately wrapped all the clothes off his left arm and flipped him sideways so he hit his head on the tractor hitch.

About the Book
This 55+ facility was begun in 2001 in the state of Kansas. The residents say it is like living on a cruise ship in dry dock. With a total of 149 potential “homes” and an even greater number of occupants, one can quickly grasp the possibilities. If you are bored, you better step out your door and get with it. If there is nothing of interest to you, start another activity. But you better plan well, as your neighbors might be too busy to join in.
We all have shared the Great Depression and World War II, which greatly impacted our lives. No matter where we came from or what we became, we discover many common bonds. In this book, you will peek into the lives of these citizens, aged 75 to 104, as they prove that everyone is someone.
About the Author
The current events committee was killing time while waiting for the call to order. Someone mentioned their now funny but serious experience with the EPA. This triggered memories of other members’ experiences. Our chairperson remarked that we have enough stories to write a book. I said, “Let’s do.” I had word processing experience in the past and felt I could call up some of those skills. We are a senior living facility of approximately 200 residents who age from 75 to 104 years. We decided to ask our residents to write a short story about a memory that still makes you smile.
