An Ode to Cheese (And Meat Too!)

Wilbur and I at the Amana Meat Shop and
Smokehouse.  Each of the seven villages had
its own meat shop in during the communal era.

I love cheese a lot.

Cheddar, pepper jack or swiss,

My love knows no end.

I can even remember my first bite of cheese as a wee mouse – a delicious golden curd of cheddar cheese.

Typically, many of my fellow mice are forced to scrounge for old curds in the garbage, but living in the General Store, I almost always have access to some of the world’s best cheese from the Amana Meat Shop and Smokehouse.  Yesterday, however, the store ran out of cheese!

And I was in dire need of some cheese.

The Blessings of Freedom

Happy Birthday America!

Two hundred and thirty-six years ago, the United States of America declared its independence from Great Britain and the land of the free was born.  Here in Amana, the liberties those men and women fought for during the Revolutionary War were fully realized by the Community of True Inspiration.
