Learning to Adjust....

Living in the country has taught me to adjust regarding some things I took for granted. I am a very forgetful person these last few years. I go to the store and forget half of the stuff I went for OR I forget the list at home or in the car. Anyway living in the country, although we only live 2 miles from town it seems like 20 miles. If I forget sugar, then in the morning I have to use brown sugar (if i have it) or no coffee at all, I cant just run back into town like i did when we lived right in town. I have also learned to eat fresh vegetables. Friends have been giving us lots of vegetables this year and normally i would give them away but being that i usually forget to get vegetables at the store(dont know why???) i have learned to cook what people give me. I have learned to cook cabbage on the grill, cabbage cooked in bacon grease, yes bacon grease, it is the bomb!! I learned to eat and like butternut squash and cauliflower. I was telling Becky (my sis- in law) how i was learning to cook and eat all this new stuff and she said 5 years ago i could not have got you to eat all that stuff. Oh!!! I also learned to cook on the grill, with charcoal, not gas. Ive impressed myself since May.

Just wanted to share my new experiences with ya'll. Oh yeah, we say "ya'll" in the country!!!!!
