I was just riding along a country road. It was a busy country road. I found out later that it was the only way to get from the Adirondacks into Vermont. I guess there aren’t that many people who want to go from the Adirondacks to Vermont because it wasn’t overly busy. But there was … [Read more…]
For many years my family has attended the Kentucky State Fair. We have showed cows, brought tobacco, entered photographs, I even won a blue ribbon for my jalapeño salsa. For several years we hosted the Graves County booth in the Pride of the Counties. We love coming and participating in the Kentucky State Fair. We … [Read more…]
People who don’t live on a farm don’t have a clue that there are many traditions of farming that are dying out. Right off the top of my head I can think of three. These are dying arts because doing these jobs well is an art. Cooking sorghum is a dying art. Jimmy talks so … [Read more…]

The other day I was looking for some pictures. I have noticed in all of the pictures that I have scanned from my childhood that there are some pictures that I remember, gone. I don’t know where they are. I have missed them for years. Today with all of my pictures digital I yearn for … [Read more…]
I sat on the phone today with my sister and cried like a baby. She did too. We were crying over a lot of things that I won’t get into here but when it was all said and done she apologized for upsetting me. I told her something I have always believed, “sometimes you have … [Read more…]
