Oh I love that!! Love your mom, wonderful at 80.
Well Annie, I reckon I write it just as I speak it. I grew up just over the mountain from Pound, Virginia. Literally. Of course there , just as in KY, the east and the west parts of Virginia are very different. I grew up in SE KY and now I live in NW KY. It gets a little confusing sometimes when I forget where I am. I do like holding on to my culture, though I've taught my way all across the state and almost in a straight line. The worst part was unlearning what I'd learned when I taught 10 years in Louisville. W KY not only sounds different but they are grammatically in a deep dark hole. What a shame! Yet here I still am just like I had a grain of sense.
You keep on writin' jus' so I can keep rite on readin'!! I love watching your gardens grow.
