Ed & All: I came up during the Great Depression and I remember one year we had to sell all our chickens to buy sugar and coffee. All we had left was a bunch of guenias (I never could spell that word) and we had to eat guenia eggs every day! Mama would boil three of those eggs and put them in a JFG coffee "poke" with a little salt for me to take to school for lunch..I got so tired eatin' them eggs..I almost started roostin' in the trees!! I figured I was the poorest kid in the whole school...so..one day I decided to "trade" lunch with somebody..At recess..I sneaked into the "cloak room" and picked out the heaviest lunch in there and "Swapped" it for mine..I didn't look in it..but I knew it was heavy..an I figured it had a big apple or orange in it..Lunch time came and I ran in there and got that lunch and sat down in my seat...The boy across the asile had my JFG coffee poke..when he saw those guenia eggs he began to smile..I looked in the bag I had and in it was three hickory nuts and a rock the size of my fist...That boy ate those eggs and smiled while I tried to crack those hickory nuts with that rock...I 'bout starved that day..and I never swapped lunches again!!
