Description

I've walked these wonderful dirt roads all of my life. Even as a child I loved them, seeing little critters here and there, maybe a frog or lizard, a snake if I was lucky, and always butterflies. As a child I was always barefooted, and these roads welcomed bare feet. We would build forts in the woods and play and, of course, climb the trees and when we would come upon a stream, we would always seem to want to build a little dam and then come home wet and muddy. I was so fortunate in that neither my mom nor my grandmother (Mammaw) ever cared how dirty, wet, or muddy I was when I came home. They would strip off my clothes, and send me straight to the tub or shower to get clean. With mom, I probably came out almost as dirty as I went in because she made the mistake of trusting me, but Mammaw would always come in the bathroom and scrub me from top to bottom to make sure I didn't get her sheets dirty. I must say, looking back, I was as blessed as a person could possibly be to have the childhood I did. Wonderful memories.
