Granny's gone and done it again

Camping, That sounds like a wonderful childhood w/ lots of good memorys. No wonder you love them. I am very sorry about your GM . I know you were very close .

I could spend a week talking about them. I was more like her than anyone else in the family. She had a giant table and no one ever left hungry. She didn’t make fancy things, just good country food. Her mom never turned away people either, even if all she had was a leftover biscuit and cool water from the cistern. She said the hobos had the house marked, and my grandma spent days looking for the symbol that told people to stop there. She realized as adult that they had a hackberry tree with a split trunk in front of the house, and the travelers would pass along that they could get a meal at that house.

Thanks y’all. I’m working myself toward a good cry, but I have to interview my last staff person in 20 minutes. After that I can relax a bit.

Is that a real thing ? Hack berry tree telling peeps to stop? I never even heard of that tree. That is way cool they did that.

My house is cluttered, but I don’t have any sheds. Breaking the cycle one generation at a time.

I have just one small shed. And a junk room. oh, and a carport, and some things in the barn up at the farm. oh my

Doesn't help I married a pack rat, but he is only 2nd generation, so there's hope. Hubs and I are determined not to leave it all for the boys to clean up. We have already started getting rid of stuff. You know, we actually have a fairly large garage, when it's not full of crap! All I can say is sentimentality can be an anchor around your neck! And there is a 10,000 lb anchor in that barn up at the farm. First world problems, right?

I loved my GM more then words could ever say. She was my rock in a other wise unstable home. She had a wicked sense of humor and a big heart and completely opposite from my mom.
