Still more drearyness today, but at least it's warmer!

Don't forget to set your clocks back this weekend!



I went out to do chores and one of my does were hopping around with a wad of hay in her mouth.. I put her nesting box in with her and this morning she had a bunch of fur in the nest. Should have a new batch of kits in the next few days!

Does anyone remember the commercial that asked "Which way did he go"?

A little before my time...but I looked it up and it brought back a few memories... with the Black Bart and Faygo kid... "Which way did he go, which way did he go, He went for Faygo".. is that the way it went... a damsel in distress and Faygo kid to the rescue... Ha ha... too cute...I guess it would be banned for violence now..

I think they made some what of a remake on that commercial..... the original was in 1953.. I was born two years later.. but I think they had it on for a long run... because I do remember it... It could of reminded me of 'Dudley do right' the Canadian Mountie...

Okay, this one might be a little tougher. After you went beyond the Ishkabow what did you have to cross over?

Another one. One summer job required riding in a cream and green colored truck. What was I doing?

Were you delivering Twin Pines milk?

Well that one right. The driver would pick me up at 4am and it was my job to carry the milk from the truck to the milk chutes. I bet the majority of folks never saw one. Anyone remember how had it was as a kid to get the cap off a milk bottle if the little pull tap tore?

I remember getting in trouble when I would stab it down with a spoon handle. Our milkman's name was Mr. Whiteman. I always thought that was funny. Our breadman was Mr. Crumb. That was funnier.

I lived in the country in Belleville and started 5th grade there. That fall we moved to Wayne that fall. After always having livestock to help tend to it was quite a unwelcomed transition.
