HA HA Yal all are going to love this one!
I just bought some teaberry gum this very morning!!!!
The local Cracker Barrel Resturant carries it!
Just thought I would throw it out there for all. I like it! Kinda reminds me of those "conversation: candy hearts you get this time of year. With a touch of mint or maybe clove in there.

You dident list the out house--- gas lamps--no electric lights-- there are others . Dident see a TV untill I was drafted into the army and was sent to boot camp. I grew up on a farm and cattle operation. Cheyenne Wyo was 119 miles away but a town of 3000 population was 14 miles away. But there were plenty of jackrabbits and prairie dogs to shoot with a slide action 22. Plenty of cow chips to pick for the cook stove. I know about all the 25 listed.
