I enjoyed the March 19 letter titled “Drink Milk With Meals” and was thinking about the author’s question, “Why don’t the dairy families in south-central Pennsylvania drink milk regularly?” I am a 74-year-old grandfather of 36 grandchildren and 45 great-grandchildren and believe you me, they drink their share of milk. We did not grow up on a dairy farm, but we love milk. I am one of 10 children and I can remember the days when the milkman made deliveries to our house in Bernville. If my mind serves me correctly, we got about 50 quarts of milk a week. Milk is still my favorite drink, good cold whole or chocolate. I still often drink some before I go to bed. I think it makes me sleep better. My family found it very disappointing when we recently attended a large agricultural event in Harrisburg, where thousands of people were in attendance, many of whom were dairy farmers. T

Limequat
It's sour and refreshing, as well as a little sweet with just a slight bitter taste. What a great balance. Except the seeds are a bit annoying.

Thanksgiving dinner at the Rogue Valley Manor
The food I got ranged from mid at best to pretty good. However the kitchen had some issues and we waited like an hour and a half to get the main meal. I didn't mind this, as we got to spend some quality family time together, but one of us was very displeased.

Graystripe's Vow
I take great issue with the cover of this book, specifically the one on the dust jacket. They're so attached to the metallic theme for the super editions, but the silver and copper clash horribly with the profile of Graystripe. He also looks awful with the modern art style, not like his description, and I hate the ears. This isn't acceptable.

F1 - Official Trailer (2025) Brad Pitt
This was one of the most boring youtube videos I've even seen. I can't believe this is a major motion picture with a budget of $200 million. Something is deeply wrong with society today.

Minions: The Rise of Gru 3D Cardboard Model Kit (Kevin)
What an excellent product. It was simple yet enjoyable to assemble. Kevin looks very menacing. One tip for the manufacturers would be to make it clearer that in the first step, the blank sides of pieces L1 and R1 should be back to back. This would be an easy mistake to make if you're 6.

My two-star Goodreads review of Growth Stones: Using Stones for Personal Transformation
I am pleased with my review. This is what it says: This is basically a handbook that comes with a set of 34 stones, each one with its own quality of personal growth to aid. The basis for this is on how the vibrations of their crystalline structure resonates with a particular energy of the Inner Being, thereby strengthening that energy. Two pages are dedicated to each stone and its pairing (Black Tourmaline: Kindness; Hematite: Clarity of Thought; Rose Quartz: Intimacy; etc.), the bulk of which contains sensible self-help style advice about the quality in question. I don't have any of the relevant stones on hand, so this review is based solely on the book itself. It's fine. Two stars, it was okay. I was disappointed with the rigid gender binary the book presented, and I would have liked to know more about how the Inner Being works. The book says "It is subtle because it is hard to measure. Science hasn't figured out how to measure it yet, and what science can't measure, it doesn't believe in." I totally get that, but then I wonder how the knowledge of which personal qualities match with which stones came to be known.

Candy apple
So I had one that seemed like a caramel apple with the soft caramel coating dyed red. I was hoping for a sugar candy coating or something. Also it was totally covered in peanuts with took away even more from the candy apple experience. This was a let down, but I'm interested in trying a different variety some time.
