The Good, Good Pig

This is a very funny book , by Sy Masterson about a couple in a tiny town in New Hampshire who take in a runt piglet - and what happens after that. Though most pigs are killed when they reach about 65 pounds, this one was not, and it is an hilarious account. This would be fun to read ( most of it) with kids. Sally

Little Heathens; Hard Times & High Spirits on an Iowa Farm During the Great Depression

This book is a real GEM!. John and I have both laughed and cried while reading it. If you know anyone from Iowa, or anyone who grew upon a farm, pass it on. It is about a hard working, disciplined, creative and dedicated family life, that is a real joy. And fun. The author loved her childhood!



My parents both grew up on smalller farms, in Michigan, and I recognize some chores, quotes, home remedies, recipes, etc., etc. This is the best book we have read in a long time. Sally
