Waking up to Country Boy Eddie
Gigging suckers in the creek below the house to make fish patties
Digging ginseng
Running a trap line
Drawing water from the well
Going to the outhouse before dark because it was over the hill and there were no outside lights
Seeing my great uncle and aunt sip coffee from the saucer
Taking a bath in a washtub
Swinging on vines in the woods
Emptying my grandfathers spittoons
Seeing the slop jar in my grandparents bedroom
On the downside of 57 here


When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself
The older I get the better I used to be
