Frontier Trip

Claire has a field trip to the frontier museum here in town. Her teacher encouraged them to dress and pack a lunch to match the time period. When I heard this, I told her that her great grandfather used to pack a lard and onion sandwich wrapped in newspaper.

I've teased her for a couple of weeks, and this morning she came to me almost in tears and asked of she really had to take onion and lard.

She took homemade bread and jam, an apple, a ginger cookie, and some beef jerky. I think she was happy. This picture is right before she went into class.
