Grandpa went skunk hunting
I can't think of anything exciting in my life to blog about. Grandpa is always an interesting subject. He was a very good marksman as I recall. He liked to hunt skunks and other things. I remember a time I was sent down to the cellar to get some potatoes for dinner and I seen a skunk down there. Savy farm girl that I was I high-tailed back up those stairs and told my Mom. Dad was out in the field working so Mom got all us kids into the car and drove out there to get him. Guess she didn't want us home alone with that skunk. Anyway he came back with us..got his gun and shot the skunk before it could let loose his smell. He also used to hunt rabbits (until he fell and broke his ankle). Mom cooked it. Grandpa told my kids it was "old Mama cat" that they were being served. They just nodded and continued eating. Didn't bother them a bit. They were always adventursome eaters. They ate saurkraut when they were toddlers. Must be the German in them. Speaking of food we are having crab cakes for dinner and I don't know what else. Maybe some cole slaw. #2 Son makes good cole slaw with a pineapple dressing. Its really good. Its called Jimmies Pineapple dressing but I cannot find it in our stores in this town. I sure miss Cub Foods.
