FISHING

Wilbur always took us fishing when he had time. We would hitch up the horses to the wagon, take some corn for their dinner (the horses) and go to Fish Parrire or Mud Pond or Lewidth Lake and sometimes to Duck Pond. When the boys were large enough to fish it was fun. They loved to cook and eat at the pond. We’d fry fish, cook grits and have coffee made with pond water. It sure was good. The best years of ones life are when the children are all small and dependent on you but large enough to care for themselves and not fall in the pond!
