Another great story. Who would have thought someone would turn down a Christmas gift so grand as hens that lay brown eggs. Thanks for the memories. Gail

I was delighted with the story. I was also somewhat surprised that Rhode Island Reds were to be found in Ireland way back in the late '40s.

Do you still speak with a brogue, Vonnie? Somehow I hear it so plainly as I read your wonderful stories. And lastly, did your mother ever recover fully? Merry Christmas dear friend, Kathe
