      From: velvanaderman@gmail.com              FICTION The Old Cellar_______________________ Alethea Adams (1775)-A large       pine tree sheltered the fine Tennessee walker horses as they lazily swatted       flies while their master sat on the front porch of the newly built store. The       men sat stately so as not        to wrinkle their silk riding attire. They laughed, traded men jokes, and gazed       at the store-keeper's beautiful wife as she carried each sealed jar to her       cellar. Oh, how it delighted her to see her pretty jars all shiny and sitting       with labels upon the        newly built shelves! As she walked by the store, she'd hold her head down and       wink at her husbandman, thanking him for this fine cellar he had built just       for her. They had been married for two years, had one daughter, and life could       not be better for        them. A nanny watched the baby as the fire-boy kept the cans the right       temperature and the late butterflies were grasping life's sweetness from the       late summer flowers. Yes, life was so sweet and so young! She loved this fine       prosperous year of 1773.        Most ofthe wild Cherokees had been removed from this area and promised better       things somewhere down in Tennessee. The young woman stopped for a minute to       give her baby girl a mama's sweet kiss and tickle her button nose with a       flower! Then on back to her        canning. "Yes, I shall have at least five hundred jars canned for 'winter       selling' in my husband's new store!" Later that night as she knitted new       booties for their baby, they talked ofhaving a son to carry on the business       ofthe store and ofhow he must        have a good marriage. A wife that would can and keep the store well stocked       for selling. As time passed a son was born and raised; eventually they became       grandparents and they watched their son carry on the business. Now maw and paw       tended to their        grandchildren so often but mosdy the Alethea Adams, born in Pikeville,       Kentucky, was stricken with polio when she was two weeks old, and did not walk       until she was seven. All through school and college, teachers encouraged her       to write and paint. The        author ofthree books, Message in the Wind, Somebody's Child, and Zady in the       Moon, Adams lives in Salt Lick, Kentucky. 21 nannies did the children's       chores. The two of them were needed most days down at the local church. "Yes,       my life is good and all is        well. My daughter-in-law is doing fine with stocking my cellar!" (1875)-As the       flowers flourished, the garden produced and the hens laid many eggs, Nadine       was so happy! The large farm thatwas a gift from her in-laws was a great one!       Some Cherokee war and        removal was over and she was singing, canning, and her work-hands were setting       the jars gendy upon the cellar shelves under her watchful eye! The store had       now become so busy with sales and many gents' talks that a post office was       added on. Her        husbandman tended to everything. All she wanted to do was see her children       marry well, tend her gift garden, and plant her flowers. Everyone knew they       had to be of great wealth or they couldn't have put up that five       hundred-dollar bond so her husband        could become a selfappointed postmaster. Only one thing bothered her. Their       one and only son had been seen with the family buggy, riding upon the ridge       with some Cherokee woman. She prayed that this sin would surely pass by. Their       other children had        married and moved to Northern states and were doing well. Their only business       heir was becoming an embarrassment! That night, their son walked in with       whisky on his breath. That was nothing new, because his father was bootlegging       from the store. But when        the son bellowed out that he was drinking his Cherokee moonshine , this set       his parents aflare! "Why, Son!" the father blared at him. "You are a disgrace       to us! Why ... we can't hold our heads up in our church cause of that squaw."       The son grinned,        leaned up against the fancy oak door facing and...                            download fireboy hold on              Download Zip https://t.co/eg3iIgs6I0                                            35fe9a5643              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
