What's your beef?

For years I asked for a cow.  I thought it would just be fabulous to walk up to Kyle's and watch my cow in the pasture.  I would show my cow in the county fair and earn a purple ribbon.  And to top it off, I would milk Jersey and make some delicious some delicious butter and cheese.  This was a childhood dream.  And I would ask my dad over and over and over.  Unfortunately, my dad knew me better than I knew myself.  I never got a cow.

Now as Christmas approaches my mom asked me what I would like.  My response was "a cow."  This time I would rather have it cut and grounded up and placed in my freezer.  However, my mom's response was that I should be more practical.  I told her that is probably the most practical thing I could ask for.  And she agreed but told me to ask for something different.

This is now my mission to get a 'cow' this Christmas whether it is in the form of beef, leather, or a painting.

A dream should never die.
