My dad may have made up for yours. I think he made a sandwich once or twice. He wasn't much to do any cooking as I recall. I know my mom made sure most of my brothers and I knew how to cook. I now...

We live off the road about a hundred yards or so. The refuse bin needs to be taken up to the road for pick up. I did make a handle that makes it easier to haul the bin up to the road, but sometimes...
