RE: OT: growing up was- Dawgs/Different Foods

Wellll, I think the only weird things I've eaten are snake, [rattle],

buffalo before it was 'cool', and fish cheeks. ROFL

I was raised part city slicker and part country girl. I grew up fly fishin',

now I spin cast exclusively. Well, I did before I moved to the land of only

planter fish. I haven't fished in 3 years. But I haven't had the heart to

get rid of my poles, [rods to those that are of the uppity kind], cause I

figure it might happen some day.

Grew up trackin animals, peeing in the bushes, washin my hands in cold, we's

talking c-o-l-d creek water, [that's pronounced 'crick'] lol.

Rakin' leaves in the city, mowing lawns, sitting on the riding lawn mower

with my grandfather, I think he had one of the first ones, cracking walnuts

on his vise grip on his work bench. Taught more people than I can count how

to catch catfish AND clean them. Taught hubby to clean trout, so he would

clean once he got tired of fishin for 'em and cook 'em while I kept fishin'.

Oh, I miss those days!

which is why I'm such a lousy housekeeper and can't sew. ))

But watch out, now that I'm going to be FIFTY, I'm gonna end up being the

BEST well rounded person around! I've already got the figure for it, now I

will get all the skills for it.

I can bake, cook, make herbal stuff to heal me family [and others], wash

windows, clean the fireplace, [oops, that falls under the camping stuff

huh?]

Oh, and I can PAINT!

I'll haveta upload a pix of the almost finished wall I painted yesterday

when I said I was gonna go paint the wall blue. W-O-W!!!!
