3 green onions, chopped
chives only
3 stalks celery, diced

milk, at least 1/2 gallon
**Combine all ingredients and use enough milk to cover
potatoes in pan. Cook on stovetop until potatoes tender. To
thicken soup, if needed, gradually add instant potatoe flakes to
desired consistency. If no instant potatoes available, make a
white sauce to thicken by combining 1/4 c. melted butter, 1/4 c.
flour, and 1 c. milk in separate bowl, stir well then add to soup.
Salt and pepper to taste.

well, hitting on it with something.) Do not cook them and do
not use the seasoning packet. Mix all slaw ingredients
together. Mix dressing in a separate bowl, then pour over slaw
and mix well.
Note: Healthier version, use low sodium soy sauce, 1/2 c. olive

additional salt. Still very yummy.

Camping Trip
Uncle Bill Gervais, Jimmy, my dad and I would take fishing
trips to a place called “Pine Knott Crossing”. That was on
Little River just south of highway 3. This one time, Uncle
Bill, Jimmy and I fished all day in this boat made from old
car hoods. After the day of fishing, we pulled the boat up
to shore. Dad told me, “Son, you better tie that boat up.”
I said, “Oh, it’s not going to rain. It will be alright.” He
repeated, you better tie it up but I said it’s alright. Next
morning we woke up and sure enough, the boat was gone!
Jimmy and I looked up and down the shore. Finally, I saw
the boat across the river. Usually the water in that river
was cold. Jimmy and I flipped a coin to see who was going
to swim across and get the boat. I lost. I had to get in that
cold water! I pulled my clothes off and jumped in
surprised to find that water as warm as a bath. Even
though the water was warm, it was a lesson learned.
Listen to Dad.
