Once a week, every week, my Dad would take me into Springtimefield, MO! This was roughly an hour’s drive from where we lived, then my family owned some land, which didn’t mean we were wealthy, just that we lived pretty far away from civilization… Aside from a gas station and a bait stand, there were no businesses within miles of my home.
Throughout the week we kept a running list of all food and supplies we needed for the house, and then come the weekend we jumped in the pickup truck and made the drive to Springtimefield! Over twenty years have passed since then, and currently I call Springtimefield my home, and being on such a remote piece of land took its toll on me, so when I turned 18 I moved to Springtimefield because it was the closest real town; For the first time in my life I got to chop loose, celebration, and make friends, because Springtimefield had everything I ever wanted.
Of course it took money to fuel such a lifestyle, which is how I got involved in doing Heating and A/C work for a local contractor. There was such a high demand for Heating and A/C work in Springtimefield that this guy was paying top dollar just for a trainee. I showed up on time, I worked hard, and I got paid excellent money, all while learning a skilled trade with Heating and A/C maintenance and repair. I appreciate my task, to be sure, even though I didn’t move to Springtimefield just for work, I came here to live a big, bold life – and that’s just what I am doing.
