old ladies

well i finally figured out how to dub vhs to dvd today and copied an interview that charlotte did with grandma lillian jones in the 1980s---it is great and made me laugh out loud more than once---talking about sleeping in the same bed as her aunt anna and how she kept a jug of whiskey by the bed, a drink before bed and in the morning---some boys that liked to work on the girls cars laying down---a little pause, and then "we didn't wear pants back then"----she was a good baptist but not like those today---she remembered the "sillybub" that they had at christmas, it too with whiskey, and the kids and everybody would have a drink----talked about her boyfriends and teaching school and meeting jasper sr.----she was a good woman---also copied a tape i did of grandma hart's place in 1990 (she died the year before)---and a tape of elva spangenberg doing a tour of rhodes hall in 1989 when she was 102---elva, jewell, and lillian---i miss them all but not in a sad way---just glad i knew them---
