OY Vey Perchie, I know that,just can't spell. I'm pretty shelf worn myself. Last date was Feb.10,2000

But, you know after time, like 14 years or so, I don't care!! It's heaven being able to do what I want, when I want to, and not ask permission to spend my own money, or have to hide my purchases rather than get raked over coals. Or wear makeup I was allergic to since high school, shave legs(out of season-winter), I could go on and on. Actually I don't think I was ever of marital potential. When I was outspoken I paid for it. It just didn't seem the way a relationship should be. So many friends of mine seemed to have story book romances AND then I l earned the rest of the story.

I must admit I was married for 16 years and divorced for 28. I wouldn't change a second of it. Maybe get divorced sooner. Loved my freedom. When I divorced I immediately thought about going out and looking. My Mom said " Don't you know that you are a one man woman?" I thought about it and she was right. It took me eight years to get over the divorce but I never once considered remarrying. Now I'm soooooo glad I didn't. Maybe I'm just a pretty selfish person, but I like having only myself to ponder about.

Sour, I know a couple who have been married 50 years and by all accounts, it's a very good marriage. Maybe you know them SOUR

I found a recipe for Duck Procheuto a few weeks back.... I have cooked duck exactly once.... on a rack out of its own grease... it was very rich very good... Gosh that was probably a good 20 years ago.

I faithfully wrote that recipe down. It's my greatest wish to raise ducks. And cook this.

I have a Muscovy drake and hen that I'm going to process soon. Have read the they don't taste like poultry, so we'll see.

Okay, me too. I've been looking at these are a while. Yes, I'm going to raise them.

I'm thinking jumbo Peking up to 13 lbs!
But the Muscovy tasting so different has peeked my interest....
It was a lot harder to kill the duck ( emotionally ) they have these big brown eyes, I don't know... Had to get someone to do it for me... Butchering was easy and plucking was no where near as hard as I thought.... But can't wait until my sons can do it for me.... Hope they will do it anyway.

Might raise some turkeys next year too!

My avatar is standing right in front of the Jacumba Hot springs Interesting place lots of history back in the 30s. But Its a hot-water mineral spring spa and swimming pool with a hotel built around it.... NO CHLORINE.... Smells of Sulpher occasionally.... in front by the highway is the Bar on one side and a restaurant on the other. The whole town consists of about 200 homes a grocery/liquor store. A post office a library and a fire station..... Oh and an antique train station. When the highway was the only road it was a boom town...

Jacumba Hot Springs Spa It used to be more rustic.... less clean. More..... desert worn. The people who own the Clothing optional resort called De Anza Resort, bought it and cleaned up the place....
