We are all story tellers. When we talk to each other we are telling stories even though we don't realize it. We all have family members that do funny or crazy things that are worth telling. From the most intelligent family members to the craziest ones there is always a story to tell. My childhood was full of people that influenced what I am today. Milking cows, killing pigs, and picking cotton part of many things that we had to do as children. We were taken in by our grandparents, so we lived the era in which they had lived. To them hard work made up for anything that you did or that went wrong. Which is part of me today. Get up go to work everyday. It is simple. As life goes on I see this could help so many people today.

Gardening was also a huge part of everyday life. We planted, gathered and preserved for the future. Each year my grandmother had us do this as if the next year there would not be an abundance.I started my stories intending on starting at the beginning. I really haven't done that, one story would make me think of another that was not in order. The people may be the reason.
