[or-roots] Buttermilk Corner

[Sue Steward]

I wasn't privileged to go to "Buttermilk Corner" but I sure liked the
buttermilk that we had after we churned the butter.  I really like it when
some of the list members reminisce about various things from their past.
Genealogy is not just about names and dates, it's about the things that
happen in a person's life and that of their ancestors.
