Introduction	Person generally interested in the simple mechanics, pleasures and management of a life of contentment and positive contributions without excess or complacency. I live in awe of God's creation and try not to be disheartened with what some are doing with their share of these gifts. What we have can be wrestled from us with little notice and needs our watchfulness. Army brat and Veteran. Country girl turned city girl, then back to country.

Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?

No, I believe that forks are a hybrid that resulted from a knife impregnating a spoon. This has led us to the silverware drawer inserts to keep them separated, or we would eventually have nothing but forks.
