Vittles is an old-time word for food which we tend to associate with cowboys, pioneers, mountain men, and the like. It actually comes from Middle English, by way of French.
Vittles is actually a shortened and simplified spelling of the Middle English word vitailles, which arrived via the Old French word of the same spelling. It has been used in English since at least the early 1300’s.
Vittles represents my joy for being a pioneer. I thrive on possibilities and I am not afraid to jump--literally I do water-ski jumping competitively. And while it may have broken my back the summer of 2016, it didn't break my spirit!
