I really dont post much about anything world related but tonight I am going to. I do not like what has happened in just the short amount of time I have had on this earth. Tyler has had 3 bank robberies recently and I started thinking about what will become of banks.... I have a lot of fun memories at banks as a child...First National, The Valley Bank, Cleveland State Bank... Getting suckers and all of the tellers knew who you were. My grandmother ran out of checks once and they gave her counter checks to use...I remember thinking how cool that was. Well, not too long ago, I was in Mississippi and I didnt have my checks for that account and I ran in the Bank of Bolivar and guess what? Nancy Franklin handed me a couple of counter checks...its the little things that make me happy! Anyway, I just hate all of this craziness happening, not just at banks but everywhere. We will eventually have no reason to go inside a bank. Heck, you can do almost anything from your phone or an ATM already But not once has my ATM asked about my momma n them or the kids or noticed my new haircut. They dont even give suckers anymore. Theres probably some legal reason like a choking hazard. Dadgum- I dont like where we are headed. I like people and interaction....heck, I even started hugging a few people. I am not trying to rush through my life nor do I wish my kids were all grown.... But I can tell you this, just like I have told my kids for the last 5 years, as soon as the baby graduates high school, I am out of the big city and moving to the middle of nowhere in MS...Just off of a little gravel road, we are going to build a little shack....and yall can all come visit me and enjoy the simplicity of country life. I am not crazy, (ok, yes, i am), I am just living in an era that I dont fit in. I am not a city girl...I need Ms Nancy and Ms Janie and Mr. Lee at the bank and I need to sit at Davids Diner and have breakfast with all the farmers and david and Lou Fava and listen to them tell stories about my daddy and granddaddy and uncle... I need a good greasy burger from Mr Reed in a kitchen that wouldnt pass a health department inspection from Ms. Elrods crew in Tyler. I need simplicity and I need it soon. I will not let the stress of this big city do me in. ok, I guess its not so much the bank robberies as much as it is the stress of all of this heart mess going on....I think that in my mind, if I could get to a place in my life where I can have a garden and sit on my porch and snap peas and shell butterbeans and swat flies and listen to old gospel music while swinging on the front porch, thats all the medicine I will need. I am tired of 42 pills a day from 18 pill bottles...I really feel the urge to run up to the bank right now just to check the temperature on the sign outside!
