My grandparents lived during the Depression.. G'pa used to tell me ~ eating horses.. he said they're actually very good- I know they're a delicacy overseas.
Have you ever read the book "The Worst Hard Time" by Timothy Egan? I highly recommend reading it- especially in these tougher times.
Nobody cares ~ your spelling and/or grammar errors.
Your Grandmother sounds like she was a wonderful woman. I'm going to have to read this accounting again- slower- when I have a little more time to absorb.
I enjoyed your tale AJ. I do so miss my Grandmother. She had a dog named Trixie.. and a flock of Heaven knows how many chickens. She would POINT out a chicken and Trixie would ease into the bunch and grab THAT chicken.. then Grandma would fix it for supper. Trixie was a heeler of some sort.
