Here's a custom-designed poll in honor of Lucky's return from the bacon farms of Ohio.
 
:kiss: MWAH! :kiss:

How wonderful to have such a poll! I love your polls. :heart:

Wilbur, of course, because little Lucky and I named one of the pigs that while we were visiting. It was so cute to hear her say Wilbur that I outta name our next pet that, just so I can hear it all the time.

~lucky

p.s. Thank goodness the pig we had for breakfast the next morning was not named by us. I do so hope that he was not someone else's Wilbur at one point in time.

:(

They don't introduce breakfast by name, do they?

No, she didn't have her teeth in yet. :rolleyes: I'm being serious. Gawd, what a trip.

Matriarch's suggested post-trauma therapy.
You have to expurgate the horrors you have encountered over the last week by writing them all down.

Pass them on to AH for us to live with you.

Or in common parlance sweetie, dish it babe; whatever everyone is saying in sympathy (and THAT is genuine), we all want to hear what happened - the strange species you encountered on the way, even stranger events. And any of your extended harem who protests, is not being a truthful Luckette.

Anyone for chops?

Welcome home Luxter! :kiss:

I just cooked (and finished eating) my hubby's choice of lunch for Father's Day. He didn't want the usual roast dinner, he wanted a fry up. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I cooked him (and the rest of us) chips, baked beans, fried tomatoes, mushrooms, fried eggs, fried bread, pork sausages, bacon and black pudding (pig's blood and fat). Yummy, but not very low in fat.

I now feel like a cannibal.

Lou :p

P.S. Good to see you back, Lucky! :D :rose: :kiss: :heart:
 
Aren't we squemish. Icingsugar would laugh his country boy ass off. :rolleyes:
 
Okay, Pornsters, you asked for it.

This is the farm house we stayed in. There is no air conditioning in this house and after six inches of rain that week the humidity was dreadfully high, as was the temperature. Needless to say, there was little sleep to be had.

The large red building in back is where the large sows are held and fed. Pigs do not sweat, apparently, and therefore are very sensitive to heat and must be kept shaded and cooled.

:rolleyes:

This pig was posing nicely, but just when I went to snap the photo he decided to go potty.

:rolleyes:

Too bad you're all missing out on the delightful smells that accompanied the 'taking' of the photos.

A huge storm rolled through while we were there, further damaging the already flooded fields and crops. The soybeans will have to be replanted if there is time and some of the corn will be lost this year.

Farmers are hard working people and take some really rough knocks at time. I was glad to visit just to learn that first hand.

p.s. Ohio is FLAT!!!
 
Okay, that's about it for now. I'll be back, if necessary, to regale you with tales of family obligation and mild human suffering at a later time.

:D
