One of my favorite childhood stories was of Paul Bunyan and his blue ox “Babe”. I was glad to hear there is a day to recognize the tales of legend and his heroic feats. Paul did many deeds in his life including the clearing of North and South Dakota for farming, Creating Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes with his footprints, and scooping out the Great lakes in order to better water his pet ox.
I am glad to be reminded of this giant of a man and his great deeds. I will be sure to pass along the legend to my children and hope they will continue the tradition by passing it along to theirs.
