It seems that work never gets any easier.  If there's one thing that I have learned it's that the more you do, the more you HAVE to do.  Hopefully I'll be able to take some time off when the weather gets a little cooler.
    Anyway, I've been seeing this guy around the place lately...

Sorry I couldn't get a better photo.  Maybe I'll see him again when one of us is in better position for taking pictures. 

And of course there's always a zombie coon looking in the window.

More of Chapter 7.

    I left out the back door and I could see Aunt Ida still standing in the living room hitting at her hair. It was about noon and the sun was as hot as a six-shooter as I walked to the house. Nobody was home at my house. Daddy was at work of course and, seeing how it was Friday, Mama was probably at the beauty shop getting her hair fixed. ... << MORE >>

The newest family members.  That's Clovis on the left and Cinnamon on the right. They were preiously residents of a cat colony in a very unforgiving location.  They seem to be quite happy at their new home that they share with their older cousins.  These pictures were taken after drinking some kitten replacement milk.  They are three weeks old in these pictures.






Clovis looks a little like a calf, doesn't he?



Cinnamon is a very busy little girl who loves KMR, long naps on a towel and digging her needle like claws in human ankles.

They are five weeks old in the photo below.

        

        

Here's the next part of the story.....

    A week or so had passed since Lord Cromwell bit Woody. His finger had gotten infected, but he was getting better at changing the bandage and it seemed to be on the mend. Interestingly enough, Woody laid no blame on Lord Cromwell or Rhonda, he just chalked it up as experience. As a matter of fact, the Crabtree’s were going out of town next week and Rhonda took Woody up on his monkey-sitting offer. No money was to change hands, just a fun-filled week with a primate. ... << MORE >>

The conclusion of Chapter 6....

    Friday finally rolled around. I was anxious about my date with Ilene, but not about meeting her folks. I had asked Mama if she knew them and was relieved to find out she did know Mrs. Crabtree and had not ever been in a fight with her. She said that Daddy had gone to school with Mr. Crabtree and that I was right, he does work at the hosiery mill. ... << MORE >>

More of Coy, Jr. ...

    I thought I would post a little more of the book, Coy, Jr. This is the first part of Chapter 6, when Coy takes up where he left off with Ilene Crabtree. Keep in mind that Coy is only 15 years old and growing up in a time when there wasn't a steady stream of sexual inuendos flowing through the TV, movies and tabloid magazines. He is truly clueless when it comes to girls. ... << MORE >>
