One of my hobbies is home brewing. I am proud of my award-winning brews. I do NOT make Prohibition Era bathtub brews but beers that rival those of the finest microbreweries. My ancestors were commercial brewers from the 16 th Century in southern Germany until Prohibition put my great grandparents out of the business by closing the Halm Brewery in Bryan, Ohio in 1905. I am proud of my beer-making ancestors and equally proud to carry on the tradition.
Home brewing can be a very satisfying hobby.
For ages authors, poets and artists have tried to depict heaven. In our family, we are just a little sad that we have uncovered the mystery and can visit there at will. If you would rather keep it a mystery in your own mind, don't read the next paragraph. Heaven is a cottage on a wooded, isolated ridge in south central Kentucky overlooking Lake Cumberland. When we're there, it's just us and nature and a few friendly neighbors who live beyond the tree trunks and shadows.
