I was 18 months old, sitting on the corral fence in the arms of my young aunt at my grandmothers. Aunt No. 2, who was milking old Sook, brought me a cup of foamy warm milk, freshly and expertly extracted. I drank with gusto, giggling at the big white mustache I, could feel over half my face. Suddenly the cow bawled and at such close range, it frightened me and I bawled almost as loud as the cow and had to be comforted with at least one more cup of milk. Still savoring in memory the elegant taste of that warm milk, a dog's mournful howl shattered the night's calm and I was back in beautiful Samoa, but feeling anything but beautiful as I walked the floor with an allergy - afflicted face, Fire destroys mobile home mobile home in Blanding described by Blanding Fire Chief Lynn Wright as a ' total loss" following a fire at noon last Friday.
