4th OF JULY…The Way it Used To Be!
Every 4th of July, friends Bob & Betty Hermann put on a classic traditional 4th Farm picnic. Let it be known, that no one….NO ONE…has ever left here hungry. Not only do you get lunch/dinner, but 4 hours later, you are going to have to eat lunch again! What could be prettier. This year Bob even lucked out on the weather….80 deg and sunny
And after lunch/dinner, you need dessert….even though you’ve had 5 kinds of chocolate and pie with lunch/dinner! So Bob and Betty team up to dish out strawberry sundaes! Amazing that such a lovely woman as Betty should have teamed up with as ornery a cuss as Bob! Betty looks especially happy as she had retired the day before this!
HERE’S THE BANG!
The big tradition every year is that Bob gets to shoot off his big……..cannon. Made in Tennesee the cannon is the real thing. Instead of cannon balls, Bob just loads ‘er with grass, tamps it down, adds powder and with a mighty whump….feeds the cows. Next for the tradition is the ride out into the pasture along the North Fork of the Crow River where next year’s hamburger is grazing. The handmade wagon is pulled by the world’s oldest working (other than Bob) Jeep. As of today, if this was taken, you wouldn’t see the wagon as the corn would be 10 feet high!Now if you were a cow…isn’t this where you’d want to spend your days? That’s why they’re called Hermann’s Happy Herefords.
Blow this shot up, and you’ll Chuck Roast and Ham Burger wandering out there.
Tttttthaaat;s All Fffffolkkkks!
