Like I said in an earlier post, we kept running out of food. How in the world do you learn how much you will need? For example, we ordered 3 cases of french fries on Thursday with another 3 cases coming on Monday...well we ran out of french fries today and had to get my sister in law to pick up MORE french fries! But I guess we will get the hang of it soon. Then I start to think about all of the french fries that WE go through a day and then places like McDonald's, Braums, Whataburger etc....where in the world do we grow THAT many potatoes???? Then of course that gets me to think about all the beef, lettuce, tomatoes and so on....then all the grocery stores. It is just overwhelming...how and where do we grow this stuff, and you hear on the TV about overcrowding. But then I see where we are living here in SW Oklahoma and the wheat and cotton fields that surround us, so there are other places that grow field after field of food and grain. When you sit and think about it, you have to be proud to know a farmer weather he has cattle, pigs, chickens or he has fields of wheat, soy bean, corn, rice or whatever. They are the ones who feed us and make it possible for us to have unlimited amount of food to be bought to feed our families.
Changing the subject; today at The Dairy Freeze has been pretty good, this week was kinda rough, we had some bad weather come through and so that kept everyone home mostly. But today at lunch we had a good run, I was glad to see that. This evening I hope that it picks up and we do well. Curtis has had a good day I think, he was able to take some time and go with one of his brothers to look at an old car and they came by and Brandon smoked the tires! So they had a good time and tonight Curtis is going to the Chamber banquet.
So this has been a good day.
