Hey, Carl, Let’s hear from you now and then. Surely, you have some memories of farm life worth passing on, things of which I have little memory but worth writing about. Love, Mom

To my favorite youngest son, Carl. I’ve read “Cow Magnets” before but never zeroed in on the part of stealing a cud from a healthy, contende cow and placing it in the mouth of a sick cow. How did I live on a farm with your father for almost thirty years and never have known that? Thought I knew just about every thing there was to know about cows. Really, you should add more stories to your blogsite.

Justin, you caught me. Your dad is always good for a story to enlighten the reader; the touches of whimsy interspersed in the narrative give proof to the smile he tries to hide in the telling. He’s not only The Old Wise One, he’s also The Old Witty One.
