Billy is an 88-year-old grandfather who lives with his family on the farm where he grew up. He and his 10-year-old grandson, Jake, have a special bond so Billy calls them "kindred souls." Every day, Billy and Jake take a walk around the farm, and Billy teaches Jake about nature as he explains when the hummingbirds will leave and why a cow often gives birth during a rainstorm. There remains a bit of structure of the original sod house where Billy grew up. The old man and the young boy pass by it every day. Read More

Maybe I beat the batter too much, but I think for pastry we think of the French or the Italians, not the people of Iceland.
