Description
Every summer my sister and I went with our grandmother to spend a week with her relatives. One year, our Uncle Addis needed to get water from a local pond to use in his hog pen. He loaded the truck with barrels, the water pump, four cousins and a bucket for good measure. At the pond he tried to get the water pump to start with no success. After a good fifteen minutes of watching him struggle, the four of us looked at each other, grabbed the bucket and formed a line. I stood in the pond and dipped water, handed it off to the next girl who handed it up to the truck. We filled two of the barrels that way before Uncle Addis decreed it was enough for that day and took us to my Great Grandfather’s general store and bought us all grape Nehi soft drinks. I could send this picture to my sister with no explanation and she would immediately know what I was illustrating. Some memories stick with you forever.

omgosh I love grape nehi. You just don't find the old general store anymore. When I was a child, the barber shop was in a room off the General store and I'd always get a soda for being good. I still love the smell of a real barber shop.

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine Quiet thought come floating down And settle softly to the ground Like golden autumn leaves around my feet I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories, Sweet memories...
