Mr. Big Food thought it would be fun to treat our out-of town guests, i.e., the City Mice, to some Good Ol' Country Food. He and Miss M. teamed up to be sure there were tasty Vegan selections.

I think a good time was had by all of the Mice!

And if I may-- and I can since it's my blog-- I'd like to comment on something. I had occasion to speak with the Guest of Honor at this weekend's events. Turns out, he was a Country Mouse who changed clothes. Good for him! He likes the vitality of the City. But I think it's important that we Country Mice remember the root word of vitality--vitalis-- and not give in to the notion that life only exists in the City.
I suspect that Ken's muddy shoes would agree.
