There probably ain't many people that know where this place is, we gonna talk about it a little more one of these days....was it just me or did you like dirt roads too? Since I lived in the country, all roads were "Country Roads" for the most part, either "Black Top," "Tar," or "Gravel" roads as we called em....but it was the plain Southside Virginia red dirt roads that the whole family catered to I think. Anything other than a dirt road was referred to as "out on the main road.' Kinda spoken in a tone that suggested you "couldn't trust" main roads. Dirt roads you could drive on at any speed, heck most of the time you were the only one on the road anyway, and any side road or logging trail had to be explored....drive it till you can't go no more (ruts or mudholes) and then finish it by foot if need be. You had to see "where it went". Strange as it seems at almost sixty years young, I still find myself doing this and I am happy to tell you, "it ain't lost none of it's magic." Many a Sunday we spent riding around looking at other folks crops. Crops is like grass, everyone else's always look better than yours...why is that? You could pull over and stop to admire a field of "Bycca" (Tobacco) or "Cawn" (Corn). There was no such thing as "Deer" there was only "Deers"...."you can tell them Deers been in here eatin up the "Soldier Beans" (Soybeans). The River was full of fish that no one has ever heard of today, "Red Hoss", "Horney Head" "and Suckers" Red Hoss was a favorite fish for Uncle Bo even though he admitted they were too bony. He had his own secret "honey hole" where he caught them until one day he mistakenly gave out too much information. "It's right dere where de creek joins de river." Once you factored in that there were only two river crossings anywhere near the house and only one of them had a connecting creek.....the secret was no longer a secret. Know what though....even though we knew where they were....only he could catch them, even then. I think it was the "sweet doughballs" Grandma made for him and Grandaddy to fish with. Funny thing, that was another "secret"....what she put in the doughballs....I know they had vanilla flavoring but that's about all I know....
