The Funny Farm

Thomas Wolfe said that, "you can't go home again" but in some glorious and maniacal way - -myself, my wife and the kids find it pretty easy to slip right into the swing of things any time we go back to West Virginia to visit my Dad and MeeMee.  We weren't here 5 minutes and the kids were barefoot - - chasing dogs, cats, chickens & ducks . . . .around the obligatory trampoline that has fast become a mainstay in nearly every West Virginia yard; nearly completely dethroning the current champs of the rusted hull of an indistinguishable automobile, or, my personal favorite - - matching washer machine and dryer lying on their side, chain attached, serving as fine dog houses (unless of course there is a rooster attached).  Dad kicked up the party atmosphere early - - feeding one of his recent acquisitions

  1. My dad is from WV, and although we only made it up there two or three times a year as a family, we loved the new atmosphere it introduced us to every time!! Those were the days.
