Williams Jones is a 73-year-old retiree in Everett, Wash. He’s dabbled in art all of his life. And now he has created Winkers.

Reports the Winona Daily News:
Prusci started the paperwork.
“Oh, by the way,” the woman said. “I have a goat in my trunk.”
Prusci didn’t think he heard her right.
“A [...]

Mmm…apple pie. A scrumptious American tradition. I’m a pretty big fan of the dessert and greatly enjoy eating it. But making it? I can barely tell a tablespoon from a teaspoon!
