memory from my dear sweet mom...  "I just read this and it
reminded me of when Dad killed that big hog for Bobby S______,
brought it home and strung it up in the trees by the deck. Bobby
sent some of the guys from the "Yard" up to skin it and I sat
out there with them, because Dad had to go somewhere (of
course!). The older guy was explaining to me how when he was
growing up his dad would butcher a hog at least once a month. he
showed me all the fat (saved for cooking) and where the bacon
and ham were located. Very interesting. The younger guys who
were with him didn't seem that interested, guess it's a
generational thing.  "The head was saved for Bobby's mother to
hang at their ranch."
