Today's Chinese Proverb:

Talk doesn't cook rice.

just another way of saying, if you do stuff, stuff gets done.


this guy in the middle of the first photo, stirring the huge pot of rice, reminds me of when I cooked for a fraternity - I seemed to always be cooking huge amounts of stuff surrounded by lots of boys eating like locusts.

Sepia Saturday

Betsy requested I participate in Sepia Saturday, so here goes.....
I hope you like these photos as much as I do


This is Charley and Fay, my grandparents, in 1949, on their anniversary.
Grandma does look really young to of been married for 33 years, the women in our family all got that young-looking gene, and since Grandma got married when she was just 16, she does look great.
Grandpa was 24 when they got married.

This is Tom and Carrie, my great uncle and aunt. Aunt Carrie and my grandma were sisters.
Both families were farmers and lived in Breckinridge Oklahoma most all of their lives.

I think this note from the back of this photo explains the occasion. Is this sweet or what?
