SUSAN:
Today (November 30) is our former neighbor in Statesboro, Jack Schilling's, 100th birthday! Yes, I typed that correctly ... Jack was born in 1910 and today he is 100 years old - amazing! He is such an inspiration: kind, sharp, (enjoys his beer, vino & afternoon scotch...all in moderation of course) and still a master gardener and pianist (favorite song: The Girl from Impanema).
When we visited the 'Boro last weekend Jack shared stories of "wringing the necks" of chickens when he was a kid. He also laughed at me that I didn't understand that you could get eggs without a rooster (100 and still sassy). Well, I haven't lived one hundred years to be so wise, have I!??
In honour of Jack and his wife, Polly (AKA Olive), we have named our Wyandotte Rooster, JACK (see photos above)..... and, we've named a Wyandotte hen, POLLY (see photos below).
