Women

[old and tired]

We have bought half hogs and quarter cows from local farmers. I'm glad that we can still do that and I plan to keep buying from them to hopefully keep them in business!!

NO DOUBT about that, men.
Meat quality is way down.

What you could get in a supermarket 20 years ago is now about on par with what is in today’s butcher shops.

We still have cattlemen around I supply with hay, and they give me some fantastic cuts of meat.

It's not just you.

That changed last week when I was in Nevada and found the beef excellent…

I commented to the server and learned it’s locally sourced and around Minden and Gardnerville there was no shortage of cattle grazing in lush green pasture.

On the way home via California highway 4 I saw cattle in dry barren landscapes and could not help but thinking Nevada, a desert state has lush green grazing in August compared to California’s brown and tinder dry was quite a contrast in my snapshot view.

Like it or not, much beef sold in stores today comes from S. America.
How this went from complaining about a woman to beef is anyone's guess.
After my 1st wife left @ 29 yrs., I was single for about 5 yrs. Met and married a fantastic woman, Oct.7 will be our 30th anniversary.
The preacher told us both this at pre-marriage counseling; " a good healthy marriage requires a 100% effort_every day." Looked at me and said, " some days you might be contributing 20% to the marriage, that means(looking at my fiance) she must work hard and contribute 80% to the marriage, and some days it will switch, but as long as you both work every day to reach 100% it will be a successful marriage".
We have never forgotten that advice,(I'm 82 DW is 79. Some days I wonder how she puts up with me though.
I pass that advice along to everyone in our family who announce they are getting married, so far no divorces.

Some people’s beef is with women…

I got a call last week, from my Daughter's boyfriend. I was on the road, and he had figured out that I wouldn't be home before they left town for the long weekend. He asked permission to ask for Her hand in marriage. We waited until LATE Saturday night before the call came in from my Daughter. Yep, She is engaged! She couldn't believe that all of us knew of the upcoming question, but like we told Her, the question wasn't the big deal, it was the answer She gave him that mattered! (She said yes!) They have birthdays next to each other, he being 12 hours older than my Daughter.
I hope they last longer than we have, with more blessings! (We just had our 43rd last week and are blessed)
