Bettye (Mrs. Max G) Maupin -Rolla MO >> Bettye: When I was little and we went back to Oklahoma to stay with my grandma on her farm it was fun to churn the butter. Well, for a time. I never could milk a cow but they were grandma's pets so sure enjoyed hugging them. Grandma would milk them and her barn cats would sit around and she'd shoot some milk to each one and they had their mouths open wide to accept it! I found that so thrilling! Memories! Sandi
