Family Memories:




A paddling at school meant a whooping at home
Being born at home
Brothers sharing the bed with brothers
Calendar in the kitchen
Daddy teaching you to play the "Wildwood Flower" on your first guitar
Dad's double barreled shotgun
Dad's secret box
Daughters had a hope chest
Double first cousins
Family reunions
Going up the holler to visit relatives
Grandma's gingerbread man
Having to cut your own switch
Homemade doughnuts, fudge, mashed potatoes and sweet tea
If you skipped school your momma knew it before you got home
Looking at old family pictures and hearing of family stories
Making marks on the kitchen wall of how much you had grown
Momma's banana pudding
Moms and dads not wanting their sons to work in the mines
Mother getting warm by lifting back of her skirt by the fireplace
Mother's words "We Eat What We Can, What We Can't We Can"
Persimmon pudding
Praying together as a family
Setting up housekeeping just down from momma's
Sisters sharing the bed with sisters
Sunday afternoon drives just to see what's down that road
Taking care of grandma
Teaching your mom or dad something you learned in school
Teasing mother that brother fell in the outhouse
Tying mother's apron string to the kitchen chair as she was cooking
Wearing hand me down clothes from your older brother or cousin
