My mom was a lovely lady, but she was not much of a housewife. She seldom thought ahead to what’s for dinner. And even though, we always got a whole cow each year (dead and chopped up and in our freezer – not grazing in the orchard) most times, she would send me to the…

No, I didn’t forget to post. Yes, I have stuff that is bugging me. Stuff that makes me want to scream WTF. But you know what? It’s the first of the year. So, I’m going to skip screaming WTF for one Wednesday. And wish you all a Happy New Year. And here’s a fat old…
