A
little background is needed to fully understand this. I have
diabetes and when I get a cut or scrap it takes a long time for it to
heal. In my current position at Yogi in the Smokies doing
maintenance I'm constantly getting cut on my hands. One of the other
workampers recommended Udder Cream. I'd never heard of this type of
cream before. Ken explained it's purpose is to help reduce chaffing
on cows from milking machines.
I
was a little concerned if what he said was true or was I getting my
leg pulled. He promised it was true and I could only get it at a
farm supply store. Well it was our day off and we needed to go to
Lowe's so why not stop at the farm supply store since it was on the
way.
We
stopped at the Bryson Farm Supply. Instantly I felt this was going to
be a big mistake. Remember watching The Andy Griffith show set in
Mayberry? Andy, Barney, and all the guys are standing around Floyd's
barber shop just talking and a stranger walks in. That was me today.
I being the stranger. Of course a guy walks out from behind the
counter and says “Can I help you?” Having second thoughts about
this being true I foolishly said I'm looking for udder cream.
He
says Oh sure, right over here. Another guy in bibbed overalls says,
He uses it on his cows all the time. I thought great, what am I in
for. Another older man standing there wearing I'm sure a John Deere
hat said its great for your hands and uses it to heal cuts. Boy did
I feel better. And by the way there was a dog roaming around looking
for treats and rubs on the head.
At
least it all worked out. The cream does seems to work. So why can't
you find udder cream at Walmart?

On a better note, its beginning to warm up here and Barb picked up some flowers while we were at Lowe's. She put them in a travel trailer planter that we have next to our sign. After the last water line break the campground manager decided to buy me a new pair of boots. Barb not wanting to throw anything away put some flowers in them. At least we have a little splash of color around our site. And smooth hands.
Safe Travels
And I Hope To See You Down The Road
