BAHAMAS GETAWAY
On our second wedding anniversary my husband surprised me with a trip to Nassau, Bahamas. I was so excited as I had never left the state of North Carolina! I am about as country as you can get. There was so much to do and buy before you can even leave the country. I didn't even have a certified birth certificate. I was born at my Grandmother's house so the Doctor had forgot to register a proper birth certificate. It's amazing when you don't have a birth certificate, yet the bill collectors know where you live!

TOBACCO FARMING
I got introduced to tobacco as a baby. My Mother took me in basket to the tobacco barn while she looped tobacco on a stick. As my Father was a farmer, everyone in my family was expected to help. It was early in the morning and very late in the evening when the chores got done. Not only did my family grow tobacco but there was corn, cotton, soybeans, wheat, peanuts and sweet potatoes, not counting the huge vegetable garden my family planted every year.
