Jordan and I harvested this year’s Christmas tree yesterday! For decades, a tree was taken off of the old lane for that year’s tree. The tradition continues.

Plans are in place to decorate it tonight.

Here’s a short clip from the subscriber feed yesterday.

Hope y’all have a fantastic day!

Here’s a memory from today 5 years ago.

Still have the book, would y’all be interested in some fireside reading from this one and others along the way?

~ Dec 5,2019 ~

Like a kid at Christmas!

The summer of 2018, brought a lightning strike that sheered off one third of a 300+ year old post oak tree in the pasture’s woodline. We let it lay.

This past summer Jordan and I cut a path through the massive privet hedge thicket along the buried fence line, surrounding the old oak, and made a “thinking spot” under its branches. We’ve shared some treasured memories with family and friends, around the fire pit, since it’s construction.

2019 brought a flurry of changes, both expected and unplanned. As the dust settles around new routines, I’m able to once again free the fog of life’s distractions and work toward what is important, albeit maybe only by my personal definition.

My Dad worked hard, through the 70’s, in the refineries along the Golden Triangle’s Texas coast. He and Mom sacrificed to insure she was able to stay at home to raise us through our formative years. Among so many things I recall about that time, I remember fondly her love for reading stories to us.

She would read aloud to Kim and I constantly throughout the day. Bible stories, Aesop’s fables, Folk tales, Winnie the Pooh, and.....Uncle Remus. My, what memories!

I arrived home from work today to find Amazon’s elves at the USPS had delivered the treasure, from 1955, I had finally stopped long enough to order last week.

1955 was a different time. Well built cars, a bit more innocence, and gas under a quarter per gallon!!!!

It was also when the smell of ink was fresh enough to singe one’s nose on this bound treasure. 75 years after it’s original publishing, an American treasure and anecdotal accounts of life in the south, it lived in print once more.

As I peruse it pages, in great shape for 64 years of wear and tear, the once faint memories gain fresh life. I hope to revive the classic stories and life lessons, in this book, by sharing with others soon.

Maybe from the fireside under an oak tree that soaked in the sun from the same era Brer Rabbit and his clan roamed the southern woods? We’ll see....

Have a great evening y’all!
