Lessons learned let me tell you.

I jugged raw milk for customers who would bring in their own containers (glass bottles or plastic jugs) to get raw, unpasturized milk. <br /><br />THE BEST! there is, in all the world. <br /><br />It was the best job for me, too. It got me out of my "shell". I was a really, shy highschooler, back in the day.Bevy @ Treasured Up and Ponderedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821971923515558110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-264678360384530492010-06-25T15:37:40.873-04:002010-06-25T15:37:40.873-04:00My first job was roofing with my dad and my brothe...My first job was roofing with my dad and my brother. I was way too young for it to be legal but the lessons I learned and the bond that my brother and I formed was so very much worth it. I loved hearing the pride in my dad's voice when he would tell people, "she can lay a square faster than any boy her age." I still love the smell of hot tar and the "totally cool" feeling that came along with my calloused hands. However, I'm glad that my current job includes an air conditioned building. :)Ashlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12206567774262574678noreply@blogger.com
