4. helped butcher hogs at home
5. rendered lard

Yep you win although I have raised a passle of orphan animals and even hand milked a cow and my mom taught at a one room school house.
Well...I did milk a cow...once. And I churned butter once too. LOL Good list!
Hands down, if this was a real contest, you've got me beat! I have to add, sounds like a great life.
This was good!!! I wonder if Jimmy Carter was a good Sunday School teacher. He probably was!! I know you better now!!!

Did the Sunday School in Georgia have a blackboard, or did Carter just write stuff on his teeth?
