A Secret Place

A Secret Place

 

Growin' up, I'd go out in our back yard to my secret hidin' place. I'd take a blanket to sit on and some of Mamma's Kool-Aid. Skippy, my dog, would come with me. It was somewhere I went to rest and to dream. I felt safe in this place. I felt like I could solve all my troubles there.

New Baptismal Pool

A few years back, we got a new baptismal pool at church. The first time we used it, Cousin Louie brought his video camera to tape it. Merlene ’n Sherlene showed up in their big new hats ‘n they plopped down right in front of me. I couldn’t see a thing. I had to keep movin’ to see ‘round them hats, and it seemed like whichever way I moved, they moved. Uncle Reefus came in in a new pair of overalls, which was unusual for him.

Life today's like runnin' on a treadmill! You're runnin' in the mornin's to get ready for work . At the end of the day, you get home only to continue - runnin' on a treadmill.
