They had an old milk cow that was supposedly "BAD TO FIGHT"...and grandma was walking across the lot one day when this damned cow charged her...She had a damned HOE IN HER HAND....She waited until that old cow got with a few feet from her and TURNED THAT HOE UPSIDE DOWN...You know where that piece of metal makes a U SHAPE..and hit that damned old milk coach right between the damn eyes...SOB might have chased somebody else didn't chase Grandma anymore...She could drive that thing anywhere she wanted..

When. Grandpa was home......he always had hunting dogs...And for some damn reason...They were either named LEE or LONNIE...I don't care how many Coon dogs or Squirrel dogs he had...Lee or Lonnie ...If they were females..Beulah.. But anyway she and Grandpa had remarried and we were living next to them...And she had this PANTRY off the back of the house where she kept her can goods..and STUFF SHE HAD PRESERVED...Raw Potatoes,,, that kind of thing....Well anyway...The Screen on the back door had gotten torn...And she went in there early one morning and SOME FOOD had been bothered...So she figured it was one of the dogs...So she goes and gets a CANE FISHING POLE...And Cuts the end down...Where is like a Kendu stick or Samari sword...SHE CAN REALLY HANDLE IT....Then she waits until it gets dark...go out and hides in the pantry in the corner...Well sure enough "HERE CAME OLD LONNIE" in through the screen to see what he could get into...She waited until he got in a CORNER and she was between him and the door.. and Started to work on his ass with that damn Sawed off fishing cane...You know the damn thing had enough flexibility to it where it WOULDN'T break..but man you talk about something to kick some ass with....She said..." I WAITED ON OLD LONNIE TO MAKE THE ROUNDS...AND WHEN HE CAME IN I WHIPPED HIM UNTIL HE TORE THE DOOR UP GETTING BACK OUT"... Now, whipping a 80 lb Coon dog with a fishing cane until he TORE THE SCREEN door up getting away from her...Shit...She would laugh and say..."OLD LONNIE NEVER BOTHERED MY STUFF ON THE PANTRY AGAIN"....The Bible, Jesus Christ her Lord and Saviour and KICKING anything's ass that gave her some shit were the three top things in her life...And from what I saw and heard...She was an EXPERT on all three...

it's all fact....You know how Clint Eastwood said in HEARTBREAK RIDGE...."He adapted, he Improvised, He Overcame, That was her motto...Whatever it takes to get the job done...Just whatever she could get her hands on to get the UPPER HAND....Smart ass kid or some four legged critter that was giving her some shit....It didn't matter to her...She played to win!...

She said...You have to understand...This was a time when there was NO HELP to women in need...You did what you had to do to raise your family and raise them right...I had NO HELP what so ever from your Grand daddy or anybody else...I HAD TO RAISE THE CHILDREN ON MY OWN....And they were all HEAD STRONG...STRONG AND HEALTHY CHILDREN...They didn't understand TALKING to...They were like Mules...You had to GET THEIR ATTENTION...THEN TALK TO THEM....If I hadn't gotten my bluff in on these kids when I did...they would have burned the house down and me in it!....If I had it to do all over again...I wouldn't change a thing..."IT MADE MEN OUT OF THEM"..I worked them hard...and I TANNED THEIR HIDES WHEN THEY NEEDED IT....She said....Check their track records...HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ONE OF MY BOYS NAMES IN THE PAPER FOR DOING SOMETHING WRONG OR ILLEGAL?.. ( No I have one uncle who is President and CEO of a HUGE COMPANY.and a few more who were Plant managers and the like...SMART..HARD WORKERS who if they told you something....THEIR WORD WAS THEIR BOND).....No...and besides she would say..."IT IS SCRIPTURE"...SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE CHILD"...To which WHEN WE GO OUTSIDE OF HEARING RANGE....LIKE uh I don't know...about 5 miles down the road in the truck with the engine running and the windows rolled up( Pop didn't want her to hear!).....He was say...HELL YEAH it's Scripture...ST. Bonnie 1st verse...1st Chapter...THOU SHALL BEAT THE LIVING HELL OUT OF THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS"... Ass kicking cured everything from stuttering to a smart ass mouth...She was a corker... That's why when I see these women and men with these little fuckers about 5 or 6 years old SCREAMING and THROWING a fit...I just shake my head and laugh...Boy would she have that problem under control in NO TIME....

Well...YES she let them all have an opinion on a subject...Just like my father let me have an opinion on a subject...I just had to KEEP it to myself...

Yeah...Do what I tell you to or I WON'T SMACK YOU UPSIDE THE HEAD AND SWELL YOUR EYES SHUT....That way you will be able to VIEW THINGS.... I could see where she would like that one...Yes..I can see that...

23,2004......At the ripe old age of 95....She outlived my grandpa by 10 years....Grandma was all about GOD...COUNTRY...FAMILY...THE BIBLE...MAKE YOUR WORD YOUR BOND....That type of thing...IF she told you a piss ant would pull a Mack Truck...YOU BETTER HITCH HIS ASS UP....Taught Sunday School...Was Very well thought of in the community...as were/are her Children...She bore nine kids by a Rake and Rambling man...who only pissed off a MILLION DOLLAR EMPIRE...( Five Farms and a Gravel Pit in the 30"s...One farm alone appraised for 775,000 dollars in 1977....and he ended up working on an assembly line at a factory...He NEVER understood the CONCEPT of Money...Of course most people who are HUNG like Shetland ponies...Well The Old saying..Is God puts it all in one place...Either between your ears or between your legs...He got the later...And her only weakness was LOVING this outlaw...You know Waylon always said.."LADIES LOVE OUTLAWS LIKE BABIES LOVE STRAY DOGS"...and love him she did until he died in December 1, 1996 after a 2nd open heart surgery....

I tell/post these stories for everyone's amusement/entertainment because Hell...I talk to you cats everyday...and while hearing stories about this 19 year old punk who wouldn't quit playing a video game...and came down a hit his mother then threw food in her face...or these kids who aren't even out of primary school who are kicking, cussing and hitting their parents and society wants to blame it on EVERYTHING ELSE..but where the problem lies...AT HOME...

I tell these stories to make you guys laugh...and they are funny...but in reality...Grandma had a TOUGH TIME...A ROUGH TIME...No welfare, No handouts..She didn't even know how to drive a car...But she TAUGHT her kids to work...How to be responsible..and RESPECT....They all worked and grew what they ate...and come winter time...They slaughtered a beef or beefs or hogs...and canned foods during the summer to get them through the winter...Her gardens were so big...They picked purple hull peas in 9 FOOT COTTON SACKS...You know who many peas it would take to fill up a NINE FOOT COTTON SACK?...That is one reason today...My daddy says..SCREW A GARDEN...I will NEVER WORK IN A GARDEN...I don't care if tomatoes go to 20 dollars a bushel...I'll just worry if I got the 20 bucks or not...

She was an educated woman who read CONSTANTLY....Her living room and the chair she sat in...the shelves were SURROUNDED by books...and she read them all cover to cover....But she was a TOUGH OLD BIRD...She ruled the roost...And her kids respected/feared her...whatever you want to call it...All I know is...She was from a DIFFERENT era...A DIFFERENT TIME.....She hit problems HEAD ON...And if a smart ass kid or a contrary hound dog/milk cow or whatever bucked her...Then they FELT her wrath too...SHE WAS TOUGH AND DETERMINED...And a fighter in more ways than one...Like she told me one time when I was having some problems...BABY...GET UP AND HIT THEM HEAD ON...YOU CAN" SIT DOWN AND CRY ABOUT IT... BECAUSE IF YOU DO...YOU WILL DROWN IN THE MUD PUDDLE"... Now she might have been my Grandma...But people LIKE THAT are what made this country strong...there aren't many left...
