    3. I love the different subjects on this site.It brings back memories I had stored away and almost forgotten.Summer afternoon's of visiting my grand parents.Warm hugs,Orange Cake,tea cakes,molassas,home made butter.eggs gathered from chicken house.Crazy things like the joint snake.Things that were so much a part of my childhood almost forgotten in this rush,rush,time we live in.People do not vist on Sunday after noons anymore.You are lucky to get a phone call,When I was young,we visted in the afternoons.By this I was luckly enough to know most of my Great Aunt's and Uncles.It was a time of family,not so much any more.I miss going to my mother in laws,cutting off corn,.making soup,kraut,shelling butter beans.Things I had not done much of growing up.We were a store bought veggie family.I leaned of the hard life she had .Of the time my husband as a child would go bring the milk from the spring where it was being kept cold.Raised in town,I always had a frig, I was amazed that not every one lived that way.While I roller skated to school.he rode a horse.While I slept till 10 in the summer,he was up by dawn. working on the farm..If you did not work,the family did not eat.They were share croppers and everyone pulled their weight,no matter the age.When his sister got her first in town job,she got up evrey morning picked a sack of cotton before going to her other job.I thought everyone drove to town,worked a job and got paid like my dad..
