I am going to let you in on the secret.
The reason I am so well behaved.
I remember it clearly ...
When I was 4, we went to Indiana to visit.
We were on Aunt Fern's farm.
The grown-ups were talking about the meal.
They decided on chicken for supper.
I followed my Mom out to the chicken pen.
She picked one, and in a split second...
snapped it in a half-circle with one hand.
The chicken's body ran around, without a head!
I still remember thinking ... I better behave!

Really Henry? Really?
that experience would leave a lasting impression. very sweet photo of you in your coat.
Thanks Irene, I really appreciate your visiting. ;o)
Loving your blog, Jacki. You just reminded me that I watched my great-grandmother do the same thing. It was a disturbing sight but it didn't ruin my appetite. Favorite childhood dish was chicken and dumplings on the farm. Yum.
Yes, I am right there with you Julie, chicken and dumplings were pure heaven!
