Book Cover & Preview Text
I would sit there just drinking all that in, taking a break from reality, enjoying God’s gift to his people and wondering if God himself was enjoying what He was seeing; the sounds occasionally coming from the barking of a squirrel taking notice on me, the calling of a crow, the singing of a bird. At the time I thought I would always have this kind of atmosphere, and sort of took it all for granted, not knowing how much I was enjoying all of that, but it seemed that sometimes we get away from the good, and we can see the things of our past much more clearly with our eyes shut and our minds open to the memory of our past. Life was hard back then, but memories are rich today because of our good times with good things and good people of our past.

About the Author
This started out as a project that my dad started as a favor to me, his daughter. What a legacy! As I started reading it, I realized that it should be shared with others that grew up in the same time frame, who had parents or grandparents who grew up in the same time frame or was interested in everyday life in a rural area of Mississippi during the depression. I feel very blessed to have this book to hand down to future generations! Due to finances, after his service to our country during WWII, my dad moved to the big city of Houston, Texas where he still lives. His heart, however, never left Perry County, Mississippi.
