We spent many a day in Collingwood on the mountain slide ride ( I have the scars to prove it) and skiing at Blue Mountain. I now live "out west" but mom and dad venture up there quite often still!!!!Valerie Harrison (bellini)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10205920305666658534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-46743379023031154672007-08-16T21:39:00.000+10:002007-08-16T21:39:00.000+10:00Nathalie - I love other Kingsolver novels and her ...Nathalie - I love other Kingsolver novels and her new book is worth a look!<BR/><BR/>Kathleen - we had the chook bin where all our scraps went when I was young so I guess meat went in there but I just didn't think about it - and I hadn't thought it was essential to them laying eggs!

And now my dad makes a hot mash for his chooks and it always includes meat scraps from the table.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09666500509125349130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-5533212768185467102007-08-16T16:26:00.000+10:002007-08-16T16:26:00.000+10:00I have to check out this Kingsolver book.
