I remember when...

Daddy said, "I remember when..." several times today on our trip to Columbia, KY. Here are a few.
I remember when
  • Mother said there would be no one left to put flowers on the graves. (My purpose for the trip)
  • Lela was afraid of the Mulder Hill after a team of horses and the wagon wrecked on the hill.
  • We left at midnight from Uncle Pete's by wagon to get the train in Campbellsville.
  • Paul died of broken legs and punctured lungs after drinking.
  • Ransom died from drinking.
  • Your Uncle Granvil brought me down to the county fair so he could see his 'woman'. He suddenly remember I was there and told me I better not tell Verilla!
  • My Dad paid his brother money for land to build a house on. Dad lost the land and house because his brother never paid the man he had bought the land from.
  • Dad said, "Do you think this will be my last trip to Columbia?" What do you say to that except-I don't know?
  • Dad said-"Many, many thanks to you for taking me today."

These are just a few things we talked about today as we went down memory lane together. Columbia is such a pretty little town. I could live on Burton Ridge! (Highway 206 east for the less informed.)

Good night and love to all,

Lady J
