daughter-in-law was, " Ruth, you are from up north and have married a
mountain man. Let me give you a word of advice, 'Don`t ever cut that first
stick of stove wood.'" This caused our fist spats when I came home from a
long day`s work and no supper cooked, "Because you did not cut me any wood."
Then she went on to say, Jess, why don`t you spend a half day and cut up a
whole lot of stove wood then this would not happen,"

night. You are still young and pretty and soon you would be married again
and cooking biscuits for that next husband with wood I had cut. Let the SOB
cut his own wood."
