Went to a small church in the country--and Dinners on the Ground at the church-old boards nailed from tree to tree with all the Southern cooking around. pie's ,cakes , banana puddings, and main dishes of meats, rice, macaroni, --was the best days ever. The food and everyone then were like family. "Today , you are lucky to know your neighbors. ..you'll are making me hungry.

We used to have a lot of cats and we had a cat graveyard. Some of my friends talked me into digging one up to see what was left (this was several years after the cat was buried). Did anyone ever do this? lol I was a very curious child (in more ways than one).

The heart throb of my life time up till now was my wife Mavis , she & I were a super match ,miss her very much , we didn't have a long courtship nor marriage due to her death in Jan 2008 , but the 20 odd years we shared life together 10 as just companions & 9plus10 months as man & wife , since her passing I have chased rainbows & skirts the rainbows had nothing at the end but a broken heart ( wasn't looking for pot of gold then nor now), the skirts were for fun times , dancing , drinking & sundry mischief.

Does anyone remember their first love in their adult life? Boy do I ever. It took a whole year for the new feelings to wear off. We went together for two years and then I found out he was unfaithful and I left him. It took another ten years for me to get over him..Oh my.
... are we talking puppy love or true love. i had both back years ago.
