Coonskin Cap
December 26th, 2009
I have a few moments at the computer here. Thanks to my technologically advanced and attached brother-in-law, I have access to the internet. The famdamily doesn’t have the internet. They don’t get television either. And sometimes the radio reception is a little fuzzy although that might be because of all the snow and the ice, I can’t really tell.
I’d forgotten a little about ice. Not really, because it’s what I grew up with, but ice? Ice caused me to put the ditch in the car – rather the car in the ditch – for the very first time. Ice caused a lot of dark nights, walking around with candles. Ice caused a lot of butt-meets-ground episodes. Ice is a whole different animal from snow, and it’s an animal I don’t like very much. It also screws up the radio reception. What is a person supposed to do when you can’t huddle around the radio?
Alright then. I think I’m going to go…put on an apron and make some bread now or get out the washboard and scrub some clothes. Maybe I’ll even churn some butter or go shoot me a squirrel for supper with my dad’s muzzle-loader.
Now where did I put my coonskin cap…
