I remember the very first time I smoked...and it wasn't even a cigarette! We were little girls, probably seven, my friend and I. Living in the country in a coal mining patch, our parents figured we were always alright. Oh, golly, what they didn't know.

I don't know about anyone else but I learned to drive in my dad's 56 Chevy way back in 1961. I can remember going up the river road to go to the store and turning the steering wheel to the right and the car had it's own mind and was turning left towards the river!

"Working at the Restaurant"Back in 1974 I was selling Avon and also working at our town's Auto Auction every Friday. While there I met a lady who worked at a restaurant a few miles down the road who urged me to apply there also.

I am still not over losing our Doberman, Abbie, and probably never will be, BUT, what do we say when a daughter is moving and she can't take her black Labrador retriever named Jezebel to their new home. We go and we help our daughter and family get her car packed up with personal belongings and the U-Haul truck loaded up with... More..
