Thanks Bruce.

That picture you put on the other thread looks just like the old farm house were I was setting the first time I heard a hound treeing off in the distance that lady even looks like my auntie I keep staring at that picture tons of memories start flooding back after supper the whole family would be on that porch I can still smell grandpas pipe and hear grandmas giggle my cousins and brouthers chasing lightening bugs I would go back in a heart beat thanks for the memories Bruce.


Your freind : tar

Yea I know I got a bunch of those attitude adjustments too !! Bad thing about it everybody in the family had the right to whip you just who ever was the closest to you when you messed up lol a whippin target area was from your heels to just below your ears lol !! Some of the neighbors had who whoopen rights too.

You know I didn't get too many but the ones I got sure made a feller think about it. Funny how a picture of a kid getting whipped can bring back good memories. Sometimes I would like to go back there. Maybe life wasn't simpler but it sure seems like it.

Notice he has a sling shot in his hand? My red rider got me a bunch of those. Loved those times. Me and my best friend (still to this day) would spend the weekends and summers at his grandmothers house. I remember it being so stinking hot. She had a window unit but would only let us turn it on when we were shelling peas. She wouldn't even let us open a window cause the mosquitoes were so bad. To top it off she would get up even in the summer and start a fire at 4 in the morning. We had two jobs, chop fire wood and mow the grass. There was no such thing as laying around in the daytime, at least not where she could see you. We would lay out hunting all night then come home get the wood in and mow if it needed it. Then we would go and sleep in the woods, wake up about noon and go fishing the rest of the day.

After we got older I worked at a nursing home as an aid. She had to have her leg amputated and was admitted to the same home. I remember when I first noticed she was loosing her mind it absolutely broke my hart. Me and her grandson still turn dogs loose from her old front yard.

I just can't seem to quit looking at that picture were I grew up was miles of rice country in the fall it would be foggy and it would sound like the snow geese you could just reach up and grab one in the morning you could hear all the animals on the farm wake up because all the windows were open of course I am older but I don't get as excited about getting my day started now we did not have all these distractions back then man once the coonhunting bug bit me I never could get enough I spent many nights in the woods with dogs I knew could not tree a coon but when they finally did I would drag it all the way home even if it was 102 degrees lol !!
