Journal: Daye One

I got up with mama and helped feed the chickens. We found uncle Festus asleepin' up in the barn on the hill. Mama shore does complain somethin fierce about her hip when we climb the hill to that old barn. She done near whipped Festus with a wooden rake she picked up for bein all likkered up and sleepin in the moldy hay. Made me laugh until i was tired watchin it so.

I went and took a balony sammich out to cousin Gilberts shed. Made shore his TeeVee was still turned to a decent channel, and was locked the door when i was done. Mama always says she don't know what people might do if he got out and caused a spektacle.

Saltpork, butter beans, cornbread and cabbage for dinner.
