Wednesday, November 10, 1965 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Wednesday, November 10, 1965
Sunny, 42, No wind.  Wrote to Marilyn, sewed all afternoon, cleaned in am.  Two radios came in the mail.  Wayne took David to work and picked up ham and bacon in Jefferson.
Comment:  Wayne picked up the cured meat from the pig they had slaughtered in Jefferson.....when we butchered the pigs by ourselves, Dad would cut out the long tenderloins along the pig's backbone and we would breakfast on pork tenderloins, pancakes, eggs and locally made maple syrup...doesn't get a lot better than that....

From my Hubbard Hill Memories:
Wayne & Shawn, Catskill Game Farm?
From Austin Hubbard

In the fall we'd often kill a pig and hang it from a tripod rig
Then cut it up to take inside to treat
When Mom would cook the tenderloin with homemade pancakes we'd all join
In dining on a meal called "fit to eat".....

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
