I have a sister named Moo, And she knows things that I don’t. Well, there is a bit that I do know and that is where this all started. Several friends were gathered together and I overheard them say;
If you are standing outside and see a star go flying across the sky and can count, one two, before it disappears, it is not a star. It is the right hand of God sending a message down to earth. And you have to watch to see where it lands to know who the message is for.
Now I have seen a few stars, or should I say, God’s right hand at work, but I didn’t know a thing about the counting and to watch where it landed.
Another thing is, I got a new fish for my fish tank and it swims back wards! Why does it do that? I asked my sister and she wouldn’t tell me. There is a lot that I do not know, but I have questions, that have no answers. I can remember when my Aunt and my Mother were talking and when they discovered that I was listening, they stopped talking. I have always wondered why?
Then, another time a man had knocked on the door and he wanted to talk to my Mother. She sent us kids away, while they whispered to each other. Again, I ask why? All of my life, people have been saying things that I didn’t understand and couldn’t hear them clearly.
I remember that I told a doctor about my hearing problem and he looked into both my ears, he even shined a light into them, but it couldn’t be seen from the other side. I had always figured this was the reason why!
Once I ask the doctor, what could one do? He said to stop eaves-dropping on others. What is eavesdropping and how did I do that?
I have noticed this happens more around the end of December, than any other time of the year. I have learned that both young and old people have this problem.
I once played a game at a Birthday party, it was called ( Pin the tail on the Donkey) and they used me for the Donkey! I asked why, and was told it was because I didn’t kick. Now I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but think they were having fun with me.
These guys took my cousin, Floyd, ( who was visiting from Tennessee), out hunting with a gunny sack, They came home without him and a week later he was still setting there in the woods, He had two turkeys, a fox, a possum and a mess of Guinea hens in his sack. By his side, was a burned out fire and some bones. My cousin was really good at throwing rocks He spent a few night in jail once or twice, for breaking the bulbs in street lights.
Grandpa took his gun away from him, when he was thirteen, because he kept shooting the buttons off of the girls dresses. But my cousin was real smart, he hid his knife in the crack of his, you know where!
Uncle ED is working for the US Revenue department, so all the stills had to shut down for a while. If someone was to shoot him. they could be open again. Every one is getting short on cash around here, so there could be a Burial here any day.
Sister Ester, she is the one that is going to have a baby, Grandma was showing her how to bake bread and she almost burnt the cabin down. The old hound was laying on the floor and got stepped on. He jumped up and knocked a pail of water over and that put the fire out. Uncle Estes was sleeping close by, He was sleeping so soundly we would never have gotten him awake in time, and he would have burned up in a cabin fire.
Cousin “Q”, I don’t really know his given name, he fell through the ice last night and we are still trying to thaw him out. He did bring home a big Cat Fish and it is cooking away in the cast Iron pot. I have to keep mopping up the water that is coming from “Q”.
The Preacher didn’t make it here last Sunday, something to due with a slide up in the mountain pass. We don’t know iffen he were caught in it or it happened before he got there! We’ve been a sippen shine and a reading in the bible.
The fire is getten low, have to go out and get fire wood, Maw, have you seen my mittens?
