Dear Hero, Thank you so much for protecting our country and our freedom. It probably feels good to be able to come home and enjoy what you have fought for. This is a day to remember the good feelings of family and not the bad feelings of the war because you probably have a lot of memories. Whether you were a mechanic or in the front lines you all made a huge difference to our country and I hope ...
Bubba-Bug Popcorn
Now entering the third year, the kids' popcorn business venture has evolved yet again. Although the patch got bigger - three times over - it was still planted by hand. My farm boy chose a different variety this year, which stood taller and stronger against summer storm winds. ...
