Howdy Folks, get down an’ come on out back. Coffee’s hot an’ we’ll just sit an’ have a cup while we enjoy what the Good Lord has seen fit to provide. And at my weight an’ age, I have received many of the Good Lord’s blessings! Along the way, those blessings have become treasured memories. Just this morning, as I sat reflecting on days gone by, my thoughts jumped hither an’ yon and somehow settled on yesteryear! Back to a time that I got to spend some time under the stars with some old compadres. We got our camp set up even though it was mighty breezy. We had planned to fish, and we did, but that dang wind would pert near blow your hat off! Made it tough to stay where the fishing would be best, but you know how fishermen are, we hung in there an’ caught a few fish, enough for supper anyhow. So, with grub caught and cooked and eat, we gathered around the campfire to jaw a bit and I got to thinking about how long we had been friends. With all the tales that had been told, and how it seemed like the first liar never stood a chance. In fact, it appears that the more mature we get, those tales not only get better, but sometimes we start to believe our own tales are true! Now, most of mine are true, or at least based on a few true facts, but them other ol’ boys sure get a little bit windy, and their facts get pert near hazy, almost to the point that I’m a little suspicious that there is even a shred of truth to it! You see, they never let the truth stand in the way of a good story! This seems to be especially true when they are recollecting some events that always puts them up on a pedestal while others of us seem to be caught playing with the dogs. Now, I expect most of you folks know that the quickest way to get fleas is to be associating with the carriers of said fleas...but that’s another story! Like I said earlier, it sure was a good trip and was made even better by the good company and the good natured hurrahing that we are so good at. An ol’ boy named Frank Sherman said this back in the early 1900s, “It is my joy in life to find, at every turning of the road, the strong arm of a comrade kind, to help me onward with my load.
