I thought about my parents different conceptions and how each time was different...
Feast: Boy #1 (brother), lived in S.Dakota times were good and they lived on a farm and had lots of beef.
Famine: Girl (Me) they moved to Washington state, the economy was in the dumps, dad was out of a job, and they were eating A LOT of smelt (bait fish) to get by. (My mother still can not stand for anyone to talk about smelt)
Feast : Boy#2 (brother) made a move to Georgia where Dad had a great job with money and "food a plenty" again. They also bought a whole cow every year (and still do). Mom wanted him to be a girl so bad...she did have some GD, but she was going to name him Crystal Star....so I think it worked out for the better (and looking back Mom thinks it sounds like a stripper name).
So, looking at my parents I see how feast and famine worked out just as it should.
