Yeah, my folks had the prune "ranch", along with the "town house" and "up at
the ranch" (where the sheep and the shearing and the "real" herding was
learned. And "over at the ranch". Those days were full of learning and
work.
Yep, in the old days.
I was sooo glad when I grew old enough and strong enough to work on the
"sorting" lye baths over at the dehydrator...got off my knees!
