It was so small. that we used to laugh and say, well, you know, burnouts burnt plum out. I remember going out back of the house. and I would be making mud pies. And my brothers would come up and I'll never forget how.
They said, So what are you cooking today, Edie? or they called me Edith. And I said, I'm making a new mud pie. You wanna try it? I remember they sit down on the little pieces of wood on the rocks, And they put that mud in their mouth.
They got sick from eating that dirt. And running to the house to tell mother that I'd fed them mud pies. It wasn't funny to my mother, but it was it was funny to me. It was those little things I remember. Going to the barn.
with the boys and we saddle up our Horses, we had two Shetland ponies and a quarter horse. It was a A wonderful place to grow up. There was forty acres of rolling hills. We had the garden with different chores to do. The boys did more in the garden.
I was more helping mother with laundry. My mother would always have us baked. And we got off a scuba as I remember was baked sweet potatoes, and chocolate doodad cookies. She would want to hear about what we had done in school for the day. I remember we had a cold glass of milk with that.
That was It's just remembering home. That was home to me. And we all need some place we can call home, either physically. or a place we can go back to in our mind. And that is a place for me and And I think the barn.
I used to think this is the place. You know, it's just Simpler times. But it was the place of the most joy, I think, of feeling free and You could be anything you want to be. But the barn just spoke to me in a way of I like the openness. I like the laughs.
And you could Dream. It was a place to dream. You could look out through the holes, see the sky. Or you could jump out of the barn and being a pile of sawdust or Hay and We played Kick the Can. Relay runs that we would see how fast we were, you know, to go from one tree to the next.
It was just... Nothing big but those simple games that I I cherish the most that I would call This is the place. I think that place is where I found me. My mother's Sue. was a homemaker.

So I grew up with a lot of old school manners with her. He was always very proud of my accomplishments in life. I didn't get to be as close to her. as I wanted to be. She was closer to the boys.
I think my mother was closer to the boys because they were more needy. And she would say, you're strong. You're like mama. You're like Alice. You don't really need anybody.
You You just get out there and do it. But what I wish my mother had Notice was that I Didn't either.
