Outdoors stuff

that’s classic example of using what’s available

no corn? no problem

Candy corn works like a charm everytime

Ever hear of Francis Wharton?

Now you have

Believe it or not, there are people who don’t know the damn difference between a deer and a Moose

Here’s a Moose doing what Moose do

which is anything they damn well please

I once made the mistake of taking the ole girl ( mother ) into a store

Never again was a promise I have kept to myself

What that store was selling is what mother considers everyday stuff

which when you take care of it’ll last a lifetime and then some

I have most of her cast iron

I mention the kitchen table at times don’t matter if it’s my place or your place or at a friends the kitchen is where important stuff is discussed and laughter to be heard. There’s reason for that, it’s where the heat source was located the stove

Generators are fine if one has an endless supply of fuel

Solar works when the sun is out

when the grid goes down

once again

the stove will give warmth and comfort

I was pondering a recipe, I’ve decided I won’t be making for mother

I don’t wanna see her blow-up

the last time I fed her beans

my eyes were watering I couldn’t breath while getting outside

that was no fluffy mother

this looks real good
