 | Vida was the only person in the world that would have put
up with all of the Wall Family and their Friends who showed up every
year at her house for 3 consecutive days to hunt Pheasants. And
then again for the next weekend for 3 more days.
|
 | Vida fixed over 20 people breakfast the day of the hunt and we
all ate in her dining room and on chairs and couches in her living room.
And we did not even offer to help her clean up. And as you would know,
if you know Vida the food she fixed was terrific.
There was no better cook than Vida.
|
 | Us hunter gatherers then went into the field and shot pheasants
until noon after which we returned to Vida's place for lunch (we called
it Dinner) and we had another feast fit for a king. Man was that
hot bread and jam good.
|
 | And to this day I still feel bad about taking much more than my
fair share of her raisin filled cookies. But I feel even worse
knowing that I hid some of them so that Vida's kids could not find them.
|
 | After lunch (dinner) we ventured out into the field again and
shot pheasants and returned at 5:00 p.m. or so to find food ready before
we drove home. That Vida is a great women to put up with all of us
dirty hunters. And our manners at that time could have used
a little tuning up. But nothing bothered Vida and she cheerfully
took care of us. That is one reason why I have concluded that
Vida is absolutely irreplaceable.
