Daddy said at this particular setting, he had two bowl fulls, which, after you account for how much dripped on the bib…maybe one bowlful…

The Blues
Ahh, it is a gray, rainy, chilly April day – just the sort of day I was in the mood for. With the sun hiding anyway, I don’t mind pulling the shades so Jesse and I can watch movies. A movie is a good way to keep me from getting too busy – helps me…
