Now living in the country is not like living in the city.  When the house is cold, you just turn the thermostat up and the heat comes on, and the house gets warmer, the entire house.  Now we did not realize that in the county you had to go outside and get your heat.  What I mean by that is you have to go outside and get wood to put on or in a fire to keep warm.  Now a fire in a fire place or a... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/92664/growing-home http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/91840/growing-things Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:08:38 -0400 Smomdukes Have a smile on me for the weekened!  Well when you grow up in the country, you kinda figure out that what you eat for diner is not diner and what you eat for breakfast is not always breakfast.  Now I know you are probably going "what".  Well this is what I mean.  We were brought up that for breakfast you ate the normal, grits, eggs, bacon, toast, biscuits, country ham, jelly or homemade preserve with your toast or... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/91840/growing-things http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/88411/grandma-teach Sun, 27 Sep 2009 15:23:15 -0400 Smomdukes Start the week off with a smile   Going to the country, allows one to have a certain amount of freedom.  In the country as far as the eye can see nothing but fields of corn, black eye peas, butter beans, collards, snap peas, and other stuff that had to be harvested.  That was the only part about the country that I did not like.  I knew that when we went to Georgia, we were going to have to work like field hands.  I... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/88411/grandma-teach http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/87761/chapel Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:04:25 -0400 Smomdukes   While taking pictures this past weekend, I saw a happy couple getting ready to start their life in this outdoor make shift wedding chapel in the park; how beautiful! sherry/smomdukes http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/87761/chapel http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/87394/happy Sat, 19 Sep 2009 08:42:55 -0400 Smomdukes There was a gentleman in church who use to greet you with that, he would come up to you and that is what he would say and shake your hand, "Everybody Happy?"   Follow the yellow brick road, or flowers.  You will find your happiness at the end of the flowers, Dorothy did. I promise, just keep walking and looking.  Our depression is just a loose brick along the way do not trip, if you do, act like you did not trip just keep... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/87394/happy http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/87223/place-sit Thu, 17 Sep 2009 20:25:29 -0400 Smomdukes We have stressed all week, let us find a place to sit, and think.                                     sherry/smomdukes     http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/87223/place-sit http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/86715/growing-quiet Mon, 14 Sep 2009 10:22:51 -0400 Smomdukes  Now in a few weeks it will be October, it will be time for ghost stories and things, I am getting a jump on them.  I hope that you enoy this childhood story, let me know what you think.......   Now going to the country was always an adventure for us.  We knew that grandpa was going to take us on a trip into those Georgia woods.  Along with the trips into the woods, came tall tails.  One day, he told us, "chulin... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/86715/growing-quiet http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/85162/growing-pickin Wed, 02 Sep 2009 08:02:51 -0400 Smomdukes I thought I would add something to maybe lighten up our week; tell me your thoughts.   When we went to Georgia every summer.  I knew that grandpa was going to have a pig pick'in.  Truth be known the annual Pig Pick' in is probably responsible for most of the world's African American High Blood Pressure. That is a sure enough family gathering a good time to be had by all.  At the annual pig pick'in is where we see family... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/473728/85162/growing-pickin
