As I am going about my morning chores I cant help but think of my grandmother...she was the hardest working woman I have ever met and never seemed to take a break...even late at night as she was sitting watching TV she was shelling peas or cracking pecans...I rarely remember seeing her without something in her hands. Then I think back to working alongside her...she always made work seem so much fun...all the kids gathered around shucking corn as fast as possible to see who could collect the most worms, or who could make the tallest pile of pea hulls, or raking pine straw to build our play house with...it was always fun so you never realized that you were actually doing chores...I so miss the simple times in life when pine cones and corn cobs were interesting and Grandmas shared stories and laughter while teaching children to be independent and have good ethics, morals and values...what I wouldnt give for a time machine!
