All I have to do is smell the pine shavings that my horse was bedded in, and my memories go flying. And yes, I remember sitting with a big bowl in my lap, stringing those beans.

I'm currently reading a book called "Wish you Well by David Baldacci" that's about city kids in 1940 who go to live with their great-grandma in the mountains of Virginia. 1940 is a bit further back than you and I remember ;)) but life there sounds a bit like your childhood. Have you read it?EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-84238815857772158412013-08-06T02:13:32.277-04:002013-08-06T02:13:32.277-04:00It's a great story, Rose.

Have a big bowl and sit on the porch or the kitchen table. Couldn't eat them otherwise--tough ol strings. I do not like beans to this day but I do love wild blackberries. We have an abundance out this way.<br />I love your memories.

He just gives me the look, but you know what I mean, don't you? I also remember all the canning, the biscuits, all the cooking/baking my mother did without using a recipe. We also raised our own meat, had chickens and milked a cow. Yes, we even had a blackberry patch! Oh, the memories....thanks, Rose!Cheryl @ TFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947085477739983984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-70927164269954280272013-08-05T10:44:04.980-04:002013-08-05T10:44:04.980-04:00I enjoyed your conversation into the past.

I felt like I was there watching your momma cooking! You were poor? No, darling, you were very rich indeed. To have a mom that spent so much time preparing food for you...and it was so good you crave it to this day! I would say you had everything you needed! :)Leave It To Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510401202733633537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-23899924735762197942013-08-04T15:36:49.183-04:002013-08-04T15:36:49.183-04:00Such lovely memories, I enjoyed reading about them...Such lovely memories, I enjoyed reading about them, thank you.
