The Potato Story...

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to
spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work.
His only son, who would
have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a
letter to his son and mentioned his situation:


Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I
won't be able to plant my potato garden this year.
hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother
always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old
to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here,
all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig
the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.
.............................Love, Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram: "For
Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's
where I buried the
GUNS!!"

At 4 a.m.the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and
local police officers showed up and dug up the
entire garden without
finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son
telling him what happened, and asked him what to do
next.

His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your
potatoes, Dad.......................... It's the
best I could do
for you from here."



Moral:
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE
DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART, YOU
CAN DO IT. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS NOT WHERE
YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON IS.
