Tribute: Granny Pig

My mama was very close to her mama. Mama called her mother, Mother Fig. Mother Fig is short for Mother Figure.

Aunt Bobbie (Mama’s older sister) took care of my mother when she was a baby and small child. Aunt Bobbie would teasingly tell Mama, “I’m your real mother, she’s just your [...]

Little Red Riding Hood

When I was 5 my favorite story was Little Red Riding Hood. That winter I wanted to be Little Red Riding Hood. I wanted a cape. Not just any cape. I wanted a Little Red Riding Hood cape. I insisted it be red, wool and have a hood! Mama has always aided [...]

It is a gourd that Mama painted to look like a mango.

Who does that?

*weeps*

No mango for me.

Chicken

The only chickens I like:

Chickens are nasty, evil creatures.
