It is really simple, just brown thin pork chops with or without the bone on both sides. Sprinkle with pepper if desired. Once the chops are brown, pour any kind of pancake syrup on each chop and then pour Dr. Pepper to cover the chops. Simmer for about 30 minutes.

A policeman, just east of here, died last year after a copperhead bit him on the ankle. They were having a gathering out in the yard, and he was beside the house. Died by the time they got to the hospital. I've been scared to go out in the yard ever since! When we were kids, my little sister was about to go down the back steps. My mother caught her before she stepped on the ground by the bottom step. There was a copperhead beside the step. Mama killed it with a hoe. She was scared for us to go outside, then. She said that she thought there was a nest of copperheads on that side of the house. I never saw anymore. I do not like snakes! or spiders! We had a new dishwasher put in and the plumber found a big, dead snake in the space under the old dishwasher. Still gives me chills. He said it was dried, and dead for a long time. Probably crawled in there while they were building our mobile home. That was about 10 years ago. We've got plenty of tall grass and vines from all the nice rain we have been having this year. But we are all scared to go outside and try to cut it down! The guy who used to do our yard died so we got a lawnmower to do it ourselves. It ran one time, and we can't get it started again. But we are all too chicken to go out there and try to mow or chop. Our "hunting dog", that was catching all kinds of critters, died, so we sure don't want to go out there! But, we are going to have to do it, maybe when school is out and we get up our nerve! 8>)) Do y'all have dewberries? Not blackberries, but dewberries. Those are so good! Love dewberry cobbler, jelly, berries with sugar and cream, ice cream, whipped cream, etc. There used to be people selling those in any container they could find-syrup buckets, milk jugs, baskets-whatever. People would come by houses, stores, schools, with berries to sell, and even stand by the road to sell them. I haven't seen anyone do that in years. Someone brought some to my principal after school a few years ago, and I bought some, too. Last time I have found them in any sizeable amount, for sale. So, I asked at the Farm Patch, sort of a fruit stand type of place here, but they buy from all over. I asked for dewberries, told them that I didn't want blackberries. I got home with my purchase and they were blackberries. There is a big difference in the taste. The owner of the place told me that he thought that, if they grow on the ground, they are dewberries, and, if they grow high up, like on a fence, they are blackberries. I told him, no, they are very different. We have quite a few vines outside, but, again, we are scared about snakes. Those who used to bring us berries, said that they always have a stick or a hoe to lift the vines off the ground, and don't stick their hand down in the leaves. Snakes love to hide in there. People make a lot of noise, too, to scare away the snakes. I just don't have confidence that snakes are more scared of me, than I am of them, as people keep telling me. I thought about clearing out around some of the vines, and try to train them to grow up off the ground, where they would be easier to pick. But, then, I might not have any dewberries, since they seem to grow along the ground and not up. Most of our berries are gone already, and we only got 4. I guess something ate them, or they got knocked off by the heavy rain. I like to use them to start a painting! They have a wonderful purple color that really stains everything-hands, clothes, cuptowels-anything. I thought that, if they stain, then they might produce a wonderful color on paper. Sometimes the seeds leave an interesting texture, as well. Cecelia . Not like western rattlers that warned you off.

Cecelia ! Dublin is where the Dr. Pepper plant that uses the original cane sugar is. They make a big thing out of it. In '57, my wife and I were attending a production of "Auntie Mame" at a Broadway theater. The play has a really funny line in it about Dr. Pepper, but the laughs were very spotty..... most of those yankees had no idea what it was about. Joe

We had plenty of snakes in Bedford Co but milk snakes do not suck milk from cows. >From the University of Massachuetts Snake Mythology - Sucking Milk *Myth*: Milk snakes <http://www.umass.edu/nrec/snake_pit/pages/milk.html>are so named because of their ability to suck milk directly from the udders of cows. *Reality*: Although milk snakes<http://www.umass.edu/nrec/snake_pit/pages/milk.html>are common around barns that house cows, they completely lack the anatomy necessary to suck milk (or anything else for that matter). Barns are attractive to milk snakes because they provide abundant food in the form of small rats and mice.

When we were kids in Bedford County TN in the 1940's and 1950's, we used to go into the woods in early spring and "pick" poke weed. Mamma would clean it and cook it. She did something to take out the poison. I love spinach and turnip greens but never liked poke salad. You had to pick it just as it was poking out of the ground. We have poke weed growing along our driveway here in West Virginia along with ramps and some wonderful wildflowers. My father was from Cannon Co. I can remember as a small child going to the Thytira Cemetery in Cannon Co. I always thought they were saying "Flat tire". Even with my imagination I could not figure out why anyone would go some place expecting to get a flat tire until I married Dave. My mother was from Pennsylvania and did not like southern accents, but my niece and nephew who also lived in Bedford Co and are my age had heavy southern accents. My niece still does. I still slip and use a good ole' southern phrase "now and again" even though I lived in Sacramento Ca for 30 years. You can never get completely away from the south. Small town are wonderful. My husband is a caver and we were in Texas to attend our annual caver's convention near New Braunfels, Texas in 1978. We were in a small town on our way Devil's Sink Hole. To take pictures Dave needed #5B flash bulbs. They were not readily available even then. We stopped at on older family owned drug store. The owner thought he had some of those blue bulbs in the attic. He asked his daughter to "get these young folks a coke". Without a word, we were handed Dr Peppers. I was raised in Tennessee so Dr Pepper was my favorite but Dave expected a "Coca Cola" . We arrived in a small town near Devil's Sink Hole a couple of days ahead of our friends, we stayed in a motel with three guest rooms. We unpacked and decided to walk the few block to the center of town to have dinner. Without any form of introduction, we were greeted like old friends and everyone had ideas on how to spend our time until our friends arrived. The owner of the motel was not only talkative to us but to everyone in town. Since I grew up in a small town, I know one thing about small towns. There are no secrets. We were in Idaho in 1972 and our twenty year old van's "u-joint" broke. They did not have one at the local garage. The son of the local garage owner took Dave for a ride along the local canyons to see if they could spot an old van like ours that had been driven over the side. The garage owner was making arrangement for Dave to ride to Riggins, Idaho with the State Trooper and then ride back the next day with the same trooper. The former owner of the garage who was in his 80's walked in and "likened he had some of those in a box on the top shelf behind other boxes in the back room" . With some adjustment, Dave made one of those fit and we were on our way to another caving adventure. We drove that van on caving and camping trips for years with an adapted "u-joint" and every trip has been an adventure. Our own small town is great, we were gone for two months in 2003 and had stopped our mail. We came back on Sunday afternoon and stopped at the local "Service Center- gas station and store" to get a few things. We were talking to some friends outside for a few minutes. The next day, I was going to the post office to start delivery of the mail and to go into Lewisburg for groceries. Out of habit, I checked the mail box and there was that day's mail with a note welcoming us back and asking us to pick up the rest of our mail at the post office. There was too much mail for our box and our driveway is 1/2 mile long with a gate.

I can't resist adding my 2 cents about sodas etc. Have y'all seen the Soda vs. Pop map of the country? We southerners call them all "coke", but "soda" dominates the Northeast. In the Upper Midwest it is "pop". http://popvssoda.com:2998/ I hadn't realized Orange Crush is hard to find. It seems like it was there in the stores just yesterday, but I have quit drinking soda so don't pay attention. (OK, I *will* drink a Coke occasionally on a day when it is 90 degrees and 90% humidity and -- it's medicinal, you know!) On Coke in particular, people claim that the change was when they switched from cane sugar to high-fructose corn syrup in the 1980s (although my brother thinks there was a change in the 1960s.) You can still get cane sugar cokes from Mexican stores (look for imports from Mexico) or from mainstream stores during Passover (look for Kosher for Passover Coke). Uh, nothing genealogical to say except my great-grandma, (born in SW Missouri in 1886) called it "pop", so I wonder if "pop" was more widespread than it is now.
