I had to get him his own cleaning gloves because he wanted them so badly. And he's still a pretty helpful guy to his mama. I love that. <br />I'm glad that someone is using that smoke house.

I noticed the other day that Allen's son was over at the property (this being the half acre next to me that the crazy bitch, Allen's widow, now owns) using the little smokehouse.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-42882857024915782072020-12-15T12:11:13.397-05:002020-12-15T12:11:13.397-05:00Your Family is Loved Filled and the ways of expres...Your Family is Loved Filled and the ways of expressing it are the making of Special Memories that shall last Forever and Ever!Bohemianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743017084098726581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-66957010293308750412020-12-15T11:39:38.536-05:002020-12-15T11:39:38.536-05:00A big family project - making that sausage - nice ...A big family project - making that sausage - nice to have everyone involved.

Didn't feel the need to google it. <br /><br />So understand August's reaction the to chex mix as a parting gift. Yesterday, my 6 year old GS discovered I'd set out some H'Kisses for him and you would have thought I hung the moon. Guess it beat the PF Goldfish I usually give him as a snack.
