Afterthoughts

Dottie, Kathleen, Patricia, and Sharol           The afternoon sun slowly moved across the Texas sky scorching the sand making it too hot to go barefooted.  So, with shovels in hand, my brother and I set out to dig a swimming pool in grandmother's back yard.  We worked diligently until the hole had the perfect dimensions.  After filling it full of water, we jumped in.  It didn't take long until we resembled two hogs wallowing in a mud hole.  The coolness of it all made us feel as though we had won the battle with the sun.  The Hole A country preacher stood in the sun looking into a deep hole.

Life didn't change for me
