A nice tribute. I can relate to the churning of butter by hand, and I can relate to going to a neighbors house to watch TV on a 12 inch black & white screen. It was one of the first television sets in our town and was the first summer out of high school. The story brings back a lot of memories of yesteryear.

Lovely memory prompts. I swear I can smell those biscuits baking. The wood cook stove, churning butter, chickens running around without heads, I always thought they were chasing me. Those were the days! BJ
