MOCKER

“The proud and arrogant man – 'Mocker' is his name; he behaves with overweening pride.” Proverbs 21:24

When Jim Kennedy uses his big backhoe, a crowd usually gathers. He's an artist, you see. 

At Bud McFarland's place the other day, he was there to install Bud's new septic tank. This was to be a massive septic tank.  Now and then Jim would just do something to show off his skill. At one point, when Jim's backhoe cut through a buried tree root, there was about a foot-long section of root lying alone at the bottom of the hole.

"Hey Jim," Bud yelled at Jim, good-naturedly, "firewood!"

Makes:   16 servings 

This tasty zucchini bread can be eaten as a dessert or snack. Serve warm or cooled.

Dear Dietitian

My fourteen-year-old daughter was recently diagnosed with celiac disease.  We made an appointment with a dietitian, and she is doing her best to follow a gluten-free diet.  The problem is she still has stomach aches and diarrhea three to five times a week. What should we do? --Mandy
