Yeah we were certainly money poor, but about as rich in life as ya could get. I really miss those days. Even as a young man if I wasn't huntin, or fishin I was tendin crops, tendin cattle, tendin chickens, er pickin somthin. Be it crops, er wild crops (persimmons, muscadines, pecans, black walnuts, hickernuts, dewwberries, blackberries, wild onion, wild plums, peaches, etc etc etc) We had fun doin it all. Wieny roasts, coon hunts, and I will never fergit the music the older folks useta play out in the yard just about ever time the sun set. All the granparents, uncles, and cousins old enough ta play er sing got together and made the dangdest racket ya ever heard while us kids would play chase, er Lord knows what all.
Ya know lookin back on it even as a kid I use to add quite the supplement to the pantry and deep freeze from what the good Lord give us. Been slowly migratin back thataway. . . . looks like I got alot a work in front of me afore spring.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
