Moo Cow.....


 

My two older brothers sort of liked me as a kid and yet it was trying to have a baby brother.  We got along fine and yet they didn't always know how to relate to a kid seven or eight years younger than them.  Once in a while they would get things and  would give them to me.  My older brother won a teddy bear at the fair and eventually gave it to me because he really couldn't keep it as it might make him look like a "sissy".  My brothers were in 4-H and showed cows or pigs at the local county fair.  This cow was apparently given away to people and my one brother gave it to me. I put it with my other farm animals even though it was a flat cow.  I think that there was writing on the base and that has worn off.  I had to do the math to figure out the small toy cow is now 66 years old.

Funny owning a cow toy is considered "sissy". Looks it is well made

Most elder siblings give away readily to the younger ones if they don't like a thing. But this cow looks cute, even if it is flat.

Chilled Gelatin Treat

 It is made in my Grandmother Brooks's bowl. She also made the same kind of thing at every family holiday meal.  The bowl has to be over...
