June CupboardScape

I hope all the Father's out there had a grand day!

In Honor of Father's Day,

This CupboadScape is all about

the male folks of my family.

Although my father has been gone
for 25 years now,
I still thought about him yesterday.

My grandfathers and father,

instilled their values, love and compassion.

Plus some fine memories...

even a ghastly one.

See below for the shocking one.

Grandpa Bruno B. was caught making whiskey

during the Prohibition Era and spent a week

 in the small towns pokey.

He also wore the gray Fedora hat.

Great Grandpa Robert W.

wore the gray spats.

Spats were placed over the ankle

to protect ones shoes and socks from mud & rain.

Grandpa Charlie H. use to carry a water pitcher

around the farm for his thirst.

We would walk the back pasture

to call the cows in for milking.

He always let me ride one cow back to the barn.

He always scrubbed his arms and hands

after the farm chores were done with Lava soap.

As a kid watching him, I thought he would scrub

his skin right off he did it so hard. LOL

Grandpa H and my dad both liked playing checkers.

I would play with grandpa most nights

when visiting the farnhouse.

My own father used tobacco.

Up until he was thirty when he quit.

Both Saturday and Sunday Bob's dad
came over for dinner.
It was a treat for us because not only
did he cook us up some ribs,
but he cooked steaks we had bought too.
Yesterday it was so hot that I decided to
make BBQ pulled pork sandwiches 
made in the slow cooker.
Potato Salad and a Cucumber Tomato Salad.
Also made a chocolate pie.

How was your weekend spent?

Father's Day Post Blessings To All!
