Well, we finally got a real fridge. We’ve had only a 40 liter camping fridge for the past few years, (smaller than an average cooler box) so it’s gonna take some adjusting to get used to, but in a good way. And I just wrote a fiddle tune yesterday, that I’ll try to share before Christmas
What are y'all up to?

Ha! Not far off (distance wise) actually. I’ll reveal the title with the tune, which I think they fit together quite well

I can’t even imagine a fridge that small for a family that big. Good golly!

That’s how life used to be! Good old days, eating food prepared fresh from the garden or from the market! They must have needed it only for ice cream or sodas. What do you say, Gunnar?

Well, we don’t drink sodas, and we don’t ever have icecream here. The things that live in the fridge are various condiments (mustard, mayo, ketchup etc.) Cheese, yogurt, any leftovers that won’t survive out, and occasionally other random things. All of our produce is gotten fresh (and occasionally not so fresh) from the market, and any meat and other freezables were stored in a chest freezer on the other side of town where there’s electricity (at another missionary’s house) we definitely don’t have as much stuff that requires a fridge here, but it’s still been pretty hard having such a small one. (Although I’m now really good at stuffing several extra items into a completely full fridge…) the main thing that will be added to the fridge is water (lots) we all love cold water

We used to use earthen vessel or pots for water. It was somewhat chill water. But yeah for a family it is small.

We did that several years ago, but stopped cuz they started to disintegrate which made the water taste like dirt, and then we broke one. It’s hard for glass to survive with this many kids

We used to have very long ago too, but never had that dirt like taste. When they make it, they bake the pot well, that way they won’t disintegrate. But with the kids around, they will easily break it.

I’m on the road early this morning for Houston. I’ll get in late tonight, then off to Harlingen area Tuesday morning for a nilgai hunt on the southern part of the King Ranch. They say nilgai is the only wild game that tastes better than elk…well, we’ll just have to see about that! I’m carrying my dad’s 1963 Winchester .300 magnum and I wish he could go with me, too. Nilgai run wild on the Texas/Mexican border and the ranchers work together to try and keep their numbers under control by using guys like me

I always try to remember that bullet-placement trumps caliber…
Remember to “C#” and that Nilgai will “Bb” “In-Time” and it will be no “Treble” for you to “Pick-Out” a few good steaks. Good luck and Happy pickin!
