Anyone know what and how big a dishpan is?

Staying at my grandparents house in the summer. Going fishing with my grandfather. Staying in his cabin on the Greenbrier River.

I remember rock climbing and scaling the cliffs on Bear Pen creek, It was our playground, I remember waiting for the flying squirrel to sail out of its nest in the top of the tall pines and then climbing up to check out its babies, more times than not mama squirell was still home and she was very protective of her babies. I went back to the Bear Pen cliffs as an adult only to find that strip mining had basically turned most of it into a frikin' cow pasture.

Paw paw had a cow he would milk.  He'd give the milk to families with children to feed.  Maw maw would churn butter to give them also.  People didn't call paw paw by name, they called him the man with the cow.

I always said that my late mom made the best popcorn balls. Divinity at Christmas time and the weather had to be right for that.
Fishing in our lake with a cane pole caught 3 bass and 13 bluegill one time with that.

Took son to get some jeans and it was darn near impossible to find any without holes. The holey jeans cost more than those with non holes. Lol, told him I could put holes.in them if he wanted. He hates jeans with holes in them.

If he’s welding, he will put the holes in them himself.

Good morning all. Funny, Pete and SD. He put some holes in the clothes but at Job Corp they give him uniforms and the outfits to wear so he won't get holes in his clothes.

The small kids had to clean the mason jars at canning time, our hands would fit inside.

A friend and I would help at the local bakery and for helping them out we’d each get one loaf split top bread with butter baked inside.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm! Nothing better!

Except for homemade bread.
