Perhaps I've already told you guys this story...I do repeat myself nowadays...
When I was a kid, my grandparents had cows. Big stupid brown ones. We'd entertain ourselves running the length of the electric fence to see if the steer/bull or whatever he was would chase us. He was terrifying, and I was always afraid that he'd charge right through that fence & kill me.
Anyway. Every year or so they'd butcher a cow and we'd all get a freezer full. We also got pork & rabbit this way too.
I was around 16 when I realized (while standing in the cutting room at the butcher shop overseeing our meat cuts) that
this meat came from those cows...and the bunnies I had played with, were those rabbits...
I was such a dopey kid, I had never made that connection before...and I cried for days...then I had a steak.

Sounds like me! Until one day someone gave my mom 8 or 9 live chickens. (Can't remember the exact number). She killed them and my grandma cleaned them and put most of it in the freezer. The next day we had chicken. I seen the "act" of the kill. I turned out to be a vegan for years. (I know I am so weak!)

Good morning TT and friends!

Today I've brought us a special treat from Pokey's House of Java:

That's right...invisible coffee from your invisible friend. Enjoy.


I hope that the fire's have not chased you from your homes, my two Texans - and that all is well and the threat diminished by this morning.

And I hope all of the rest of you find yourselves well and have a good start to a good day. :)

Thanks K - that breakfast looks fabulous...And Pokey...I really like that invisible coffee to go with the invisible Pokey Avi...what's going on!?

Oh too much to cover here as usual so I will just say hi and have a nice day :)

OH! But WOW Tg up at such an early hour? Just doesn't seem right! That is almost like seeing Free here before midnight! I might need a nap after seeing this :laugh:

Let me add that there is still no avi for Pokey that I can see :)
