What do you see? An old couple staring into each others eyes? Or a couple of men sitting beside each other singing and a woman coming through an archway in the background?
I am a bit odd. I grew up in the rural mountains of North Georgia & our Granny & Papa were always within shouting distance. Lunch was dinner, & dinner was supper. Blackberry cobbler was a frequent special from our berry pickin' trips with Papa. We went out family-visiting each Sunday, Sunday dinner at my great-grandmother's house with all the extended family present. We were dirt poor but we were also rich! We played outside til dark or Mom called us. We had a scrap wood fort built just beyond the tree line, using old pallets Papa brought home. My brothers & I would race our bikes through trails. Big bro always won! Papa would take us fishing or for walks through the woods & occasionally taught us about the plants & their uses while plucking a leaf here or there & popping it in his mouth to chew on. I was exposed to rich culture early in life & flourished. I have been married to a great man for almost 30 years & we have 4 children, all adults now (2 boys/2 girls). I'm a nurse & I love it! Life is difficult at times but it has definitely changed for the best over the years & I thank God for it every day!
