T’is the calm before the storm (I think)....’ny rate the rains are s’pozed to start t’morra ‘n last for a week or a little more...T’day, however, is overcast ‘n calm, a quiet Saturday here in the village....bought a new bed...a metal one....haven’t had a metal bed for years ‘n years, back in my ‘way back when time, as a matter of fact....must’a been in the winter or spring of ‘52 when we left Beattyville ‘n moved up t’road by the Post Office.....I had an upstairs bedroom all to m’self ‘cuz it had a closet ‘n my two brothers were scared of Ol Shinyeyes who was s’pozed to live in closets...I don’t know if I had the bed before that or not, I simply don’t remember....but it was a 3/4 bed....I don’t think you can even buy mattresses in that size anymore....ANYWAYS....agreeing on a bed took awhile....heck! agreeing on most things takes a bit of time but somehow we’ve managed to stay together for over fifty years in spite of (or maybe because of)
our disagreements....but it’s a good-looking bed ‘n it goes well with the rest of our somewhat eclectic furnishings...
All of which has absolutely nothing to do with the coming storms.....
