Mexican kids play outside all day yet they still fat

@SW-User You are so wise and kind. I'm honored to be your friend, and I cannot ever thank you enough, for your support.

Please, have a lovely evening. 😊🤗❤️🌷

@Oster1 Thank you for the kind words. I've had a great day and it's been beautiful outside. :) 😎🤗

@SW-User Yeah, YOU, always understood the finer aspets of life.

So good for you! Today, was beautiful! 😎🌞

@Oster1 I'm going back to more basics. The day was great because it was spent with family I haven't seen in quite a while and doing things much appreciated... collected pears, apples, black walnuts and some more tomatoes. It's life without internet. I need to start living like that a lot more again. :)

@SW-User Awww, you did have a blessed day with family, food and nature!

There is no better experience. I'm so delighted, you had such a special day! 😊🤗

The basics, long before the Internet, is a far better way to appreciate life.

@SW-User mmm black walnuts. We had black walnuts growing near our creek on the farm. We would go down to the creek and help gather the walnuts and also crack them. Took a long time to crack the hard shells and dig out the nuts but they have so much flavor.

@cherokeepatti Yep. This year, I am on a quest for a nut cracker that can handle black walnuts. We usually use a hammer. lol

@SW-User I was just a kid not even started to school yet and we would sit on concrete cellar and use a rock about the size of a half of a brick and bang on those walnuts. It was a lot of work. My aunt would tell us if we cracked them for her that she would make walnut fudge so we were motivated. Cracking pecans is so much easier in comparison.

@cherokeepatti Seeing the price on black walnuts, I'm willing to put in the effort when given them for free. :)

@SW-User I lived in northwest Missouri and the little village store owner would buy them from individuals already shelled, sold them in Mason jar.
