I also remember coming to your house and eating coconut puffs before getting on the sit and spin for too long. Big mistake.

You are so clever. You make me miss the little things about growing up in Meriwether County. Peace and blessings.

She’d have an Eskimo pie or a tin of sardines and some crackers. I’d sit on that apple crate at the end of the counter (Miss Bessie put a cardboard box over it to keep down the splinters) and listen to them talk. Oh, I loved those days.

We kept the TV off and let Vivi run around naked in the yard. She doesn’t need to know about bombs.
