Mrs. Forrest has always been a compulsive feeder. Before she retired, she was cooking for the Mule Barn truck stop’s customers, and is singularly responsible for about three flabby tons of avoirdupois on this nation’s truck drivers, and may have been marginally responsible, third-hand, for a cardiac event or two. But now she’s retired, and a widow, and her kids all have kids and are scattered like a covey of quail. Local bachelors of a certain age know if they should just happen to be chatting with Mrs. Forrest on her front lawn along about supper time, there’s a dang-near dead certainty they’ll get a meal out of it.

Pest Management

U.S. farmers employ a range of pest management strategies to control weeds, insects, fungi, viruses, and bacteria. They till their soils, rotate their crops, scout their fields, and carefully consider factors such as plant density and planting dates. They also apply organic and synthetic pesticides.

Memories

I can still see and hear it now in my mind’s eye-- Daddy saying to Mama, “Fanny (who had born him three children before me) “I can’t eat this cold, dry stuff, its like eating corn shucks.”

Fresh Vision

Today, August 2, Diane and I celebrated our one year anniversary of closing on the purchase of our house on CR 447. We are blessed to live here and to be surrounded with wonderful people as our neighbors. We are glad to be home for the fourth time since we initially retired in Eastland in 1990. Wow! 30 years has gone by fast enough when you are having fun and enjoying the blessings of life God has given.
