ANITA'S MAYBEURY MEMORIES"I can remember going to visit our grandmother at a tiny little house with a potbelly stove. I can still hear the creak of the rusty door and the laughter that surrounded the house. There was an old coal bin in the yard where we liked to gather and play. Of course we were covered with coal dust in no time at all. I have many wonderful memories from that time. I can still remember the cold bathroom floor on my feet when getting out of my bath. I would laugh and run to get in front of that old coal stove and warm up. I can remember staying at my Aunt Sis's house, (Annie James), which sat right beside the railroad tracks. I loved to feel the rumble of the train before it was ever in sight. The conductor would blow the horn and wave to us as they went sailing past us. What memories!!" |
