I am a 20 year retired Air Force veteran living in Virginia. My passions are antiques and Teddy Bears. I think animals are much smarter than people and hope that when the Bible says "the meek will inherit the earth" he didn't mean people. Southern style food. Beans, cornbread, catfish, collards, etc..... My mother's vegetable soup is simply the best, and with my cornbread, it is better than ambrosia. Veal meatballs when stationed in Greece. Scrambled eggs. Only my mother can make them right.
