Opprtunities of the Past

[Lilred]

A can of worms indeed lol

Lookin back..the biggest opportunity I had was the chance to go to college. Don't git me wrong, I aint the college type really.
Here's where the Lilred dork comes in...
In high school, I was right sharp. I always loved history...readin bout it and diggin fer it. I was always active in the county and state on that kinda thing.
When it came time fer graduatin, I was accepted into JMU for a graduate program in history at the College of Arts and Letters which also focused on anthropology, religion and etc.
I didn't go...I was workin and figured I could go the followin year...which...then came love and marriage and a brat in the baby carriage.
I reckon I wont so sharp after all lol....BUT...iffin I woulda went, who knows where I would be today. I might've lost all the simple back woods education I got from my pop.
Lookin back...I still love the subjects...but I'm glad I stayed simple with a simple life.
Nowadays I can sit by the wood stove, cook me a pot of beans and read from my lil library of history books I've collected over the years. I reckon you could say I'm still studyin on the subject.
