A Bit On The Country Side...!

I had the pleasure of finding some quotes by a man I had never read very much, if at all!

I don't know how I went this long without finding this gentleman, but from the quotes that I've read...I think he must have been a country boy, at least at heart!

So much of what he said fits right into what we talk about, right into what we profess to feel, that there is no doubt in my mind that he would be welcome at my table anytime!

Charles Dudley Warner

Guess he just about says it all! A real mouthful of what appears to be just bout as country as you can get, in my opinion!

Now, my friends, lets get some fresh coffee and sit in the kitchen for a bit. We can watch the rain and wish it was Spring!
