I wish we could have a little more simplicity these days. <BR/><BR/>I've often wondered about your family and tornadoes. I used to work with a gal from Oklahoma and she talked about a funnel cloud as if it were nothing more than a nuisance.

I LOVED it, and you have such a good story-telling ability, it is as if you are right there, picking the Pecans & Pears, I could actually 'smell' that coffee! And holding on to that rope, during a Tornado! You should really consider writing a book.<BR/><BR/>I bet those Pears & Pecans made some kind of extraordinary desert~ YUM!<BR/>SKYGIRLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570320527755641037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956282559750487168.post-66405040526334186772007-08-31T09:36:00.000-05:002007-08-31T09:36:00.000-05:00Nice remembrances and nice that you shared them wi...Nice remembrances and nice that you shared them with your own son.
