I am from tobacco sticks, stripping tips with frozen fingers
walking barefoot in red clay following the setters and propping up baby stalks
I am from calling cows sup, sup, suuuuppp! Asking Daddy to let me ride along in the back of the blue ford pickup truck.
the smell of a barn full of hay after cutting, raking, and bailing for three days straight.
I am from dance recitals, football games, and hunting dates. Camouflage jackets went with everything.
I am from a gravel driveway at the top of the hill. You'll need 4 wheel drive to slide down if it snows. Before the guard rails, it was just hold on tight, down she goes!
I am from Sanders, St. Polycarp, and Holy Cross.
Skipping third grade, singing in the chorus, and being the youngest to graduate.
I am from Happy Meals on Fridays and Krispy Kreme deliveries.
I am the first in my family to graduate with a degree, make that 3.
I am from pockets full of rocks, fossils, and geodes found in the creek.
Watching a solitary koi fish with catfish buddies as the orange sun sets on the pond.
