Gold Pans and Iron Skillets
Gold Pans and Iron Skillets is a collection of life lessons presented in a humorous, yet practical form. There are three main themes throughout this work. 1) Life is not as complicated as most folks believe. Teaching frugality is as simple as boning a fish. 2) There is a lesson in every experience. Often the journey is more valuable than the outcome. 3) One can find humor in any situation. A sense of humor may very well save one’s sanity.
